Supporting inclusive digital transformation

Digitalization contributes to socio-economic development, enhances connectivity and provides access to trade and services. It is an accelerator of economic growth but some countries are at an early stage in the digital transformation journey. 

We’ve developed a standards-based digitalization toolkit to support developing and emerging countries taking the steps on this journey. 

International standards play a key role, building trust and confidence, and ensuring a resilient, digital society is built, where no one is left behind. 

Kenya, Indonesia, Nigeria, Brazil and South Africa are some of the countries we're supporting to progress their digital transformation and apply the toolkit.
