UN Supports Digital Transformation of Governments
Watch my interview with Ian Richards, UN Digital Services
UN digital governance platform designed to simplify government services and make them more accessible is deployed in 20 countries. Platform helps civil servants with limited IT knowledge create digital online services.
It enables easy process creation for government transactions (e.g., business registration) and allows users to:* Create digital forms* Set document upload requirements* Connect to payment platforms* Map approval processes* Automate certificate issuance
In Benin, for example, business registration process now takes 2-3 hours and can be completed via mobile phone, which resulted in the number of registered businesses tripling since implementation.
The platform is currently deployed in about 20 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, with the goal of making government services more efficient and user-friendly.
