Chief Digital Office at UNDP

The Chief Digital Office (CDO) was created in 2019 to enable, accelerate and promote digital transformation within UNDP and throughout its programmatic work.

UNDP was the first in the UN System to adopt a “Digital by Default” approach, which is geared towards fully integrating digital into programming at both the country and corporate strategic levels. The Digital Advocates Network is a critical part of this effort, and is working to build an enabling ecosystem and culture of digital innovation in UNDP country offices, as well as Central and Regional Bureaux. Digital Advocates play a key role in strengthening knowledge exchange and responding to digital requests related to programmatic work. 

 In addition, we have launched several digital initiatives to support this vision, including the Digital Fitness Programme, Digital X, Digital Standards, Lighthouse Initiatives and Digital Sprints, amongst others.
