The role of the United Nations Development Programme in building digital development in Iraq

Abstract

Abstract: The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) plays a pivotal role in supporting digital development and digital transformation projects in developing countries, including Iraq. This is achieved through tangible initiatives and effective participation in cooperation with the Iraqi government. The program provides substantial support in various areas such as digital development, digital education projects, and infrastructure enhancement. These efforts aim to empower individuals and institutions to effectively and productively utilize digital networks, thereby fostering integration that contributes to the achievement of comprehensive Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings of the research conclude that it is essential to strengthen the collaboration between the UNDP and the Iraqi government to ensure the sustainability of digital transformation efforts in support of achieving the SDGs.
