UNDP’s Digital Strategy builds on the momentum created by the first strategy launched in 2018, and lays out a long-term vision for UNDP to ‘help create a world in which digital is an empowering force for people and planet’. It outlines three interconnected objectives through which UNDP will support countries in reaping the benefits of digital technology while mitigating the risks. 

• First, amplify development outcomes by embedding digital into all dimensions of our work; experimenting with new approaches and tools, scaling promising solutions, and applying foresight to understand possible futures.  
• Second, support societies in their efforts to create more inclusive and resilient digital ecosystems, ensuring they are rights-based and leave no one behind.  
• And third, continue to transform and lead by example to meet current and future technological needs. That means prompting #FutureSmartUNDP personnel to continue upgrading their digital skills and using data strategically – helping to future proof the organization. 

Digital Strategy 2022-2025 is intended to maintain and accelerate the momentum that has already been generated across UNDP and among its partners. Indeed, many of the components are already in place such as the Accelerator Labs, the Digital Advocates Network, a comprehensive IT transformation, and the Chief Digital Office. Continuing to build the capabilities of UNDP’s workforce to imagine, plan, and implement integrated digital approaches has the potential to truly generate a multiplier effect on its support to partners.
