This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

The Crisis Management Centre has promptly adapted the NATO’s Next-Generation Incident Command System (NICS) to enhance the country’s response to the coronaVirus. NICS is used to coordinate its national response to the COVID-19 crisis and to provide the public with real-time information and advice.The NICS system was initially adopted in North Macedonia in 2019 with the purpose of coordinating all parts of government in the event of an emergency. NICS provides the public with real-time information on the current status of the pandemic in their area as well as information on who to contact for items such as food and medicines. The system also enables all of North Macedonia’s institutions, as well as organisations like the Red Cross, to communicate and coordinate their activities as effectively and efficiently as possible. The NICS system is part of the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) project.
