The past two years have shown that digital transformation is no longer optional. It is a central tool for public service delivery, citizen engagement, and catalysing new industries and opportunities. Digital is a key enabler for development in Small Island Developing States, with a crucial role in building their resilience and economic recovery.

This boot camp is exclusively for the winners of the 2021 Global South COVID-19 Innovation Challenge. The challenge, co-organized by the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC), sought scalable innovative digital solutions that will:
1. enable countries, societies, communities, institutions and individuals from the Global South to deal with the cascading effects of the pandemic across governance, economy, social sectors and wellbeing; and
2. contribute to the organizations' respective focus on South-South Cooperation and digital technologies.
