Description
This self-paced training course offers a comprehensive introduction to the Consent Building Block, designed for individuals involved in advancing digital transformation and promoting user-centric data privacy in government services. Focused on the principles of secure, transparent, and user-controlled data sharing, the course highlights the vital role of consent mechanisms in enabling privacy-preserving, citizen-centric digital services within digital public infrastructure (DPI).
Through 7 interactive modules, participants explore key concepts, tools, and practical methodologies needed to design, implement, and manage the Consent Building Block. The course emphasizes the importance of informed consent, user data control, and data privacy.
Participants will develop essential skills to integrate consent mechanisms into cross-government services, enabling individuals to manage and control how their data is shared and accessed. Learners will also gain insights into data protection laws, compliance with global privacy standards, and secure data exchange protocols, which are crucial for safeguarding user privacy and promoting trust in digital ecosystems.
By mastering the core principles of the Consent Building Block, participants are empowered to drive privacy-first digital transformation and build transparent, secure, and people-centric consent systems. This course supports the realization of sustainable, accessible, and privacy-respecting digital ecosystems, promoting the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to privacy rights, digital inclusion, and responsible governance.
Policymakers, decision-makers in public and private sectors, digital transformation specialists, IT professionals, innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, academics, and industry professionals seeking to enhance interoperability, secure data exchange, and drive digital public infrastructure development.
No prior knowledge or qualification required. This course is open to all interested digital services.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply interoperability frameworks to design and implement secure, efficient, and standardized data exchange systems.
- Analyze the role of Consent in enhancing digital public infrastructure and supporting whole-of-government approaches.
- Demonstrate proficiency in utilizing tools and methodologies to develop, deploy, and manage Consent Building Blocks.
- Synthesize best practices and case studies to inform decision-making on data exchange and system integration.
- Collaborate effectively with stakeholders to ensure cross-sectoral alignment in the design and implementation of interoperability solutions.
- Address security, privacy, and data protection considerations when designing and managing information exchange platforms.
- Design actionable steps to implement and sustain Consent Building Blocks in national, regional, or sectoral digital transformation projects.
The methodology for this course is self-paced and it includes tasks in the form of knowledge checks, case studies, self-study materials, resources, and expert-led video recordings. These components engage participants in practical application, analysis of real-world examples, interactive exercises, reflective practice, and insights from industry experts.
