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 Citizen Map (site and app), which provides georeferenced information for public services and allows users to get digital queue tickets for onsite public services, was updated to:
- Ensuring there are no “open” queue tickets and provide textual and graphic information (including a new splash screen and banner) to users;
- Targeting citizens, to help prevent crowding in on-site counters (in conjunction with ePortugal);
- Click to action for services on digital channels (in conjunction with ePortugal);
- Click to action to obtain information and answer questions (in conjunction with the Citizen Contact Centre and Business Contact Centre);
- Click to action placement for pre-scheduling services (in conjunction with the entities responsible for the service).
There are other small improvements foreseen:
- Backend (invisible to the user): for instance, immediate map information update system, performance improvement, etc.
- Frontend: accessibility, click to call throughout the Map, etc.
