To advance digital transformation globally, ITU, the European Commission (EC) and UNDP have joined forces in the context of the 4-year, € 4-million project “Capacity Development for Digital Transformation”, funded by the European Union. 

With the ongoing digitalization of the global economy and society, which was reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for human capacities and skills to support a digital transformation that respects human rights and narrows the digital divide continues to grow. With the unprecedented digital acceleration and transformation which is complex and encompasses many aspects such as technical, economic, social, environmental, legal, and regulatory, policy makers must address all these dimensions when formulating national strategies, programmes, and measures. 

This project will address the capacity development needs of policy makers and government officials across multiple sectors and countries, through well-targeted training interventions on foundational topics. As a result, the project will enhance the knowledge and skills required to take informed decisions in the digital era and support a human-centric digital transformation globally.    

All training activities under this project will be carried out through the ITU Academy platform.
