Contact Tracing Application | Public Institutions

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.

Fiji is currently developing a contact tracing application under the digitalFIJI initiative which will augment the current contact tracing effort. This mobile app logs close proximity contacts and is based off the Bluetrace protocol developed by the Singapore Government’s Digital Services which is behind TraceTogether. The open source code is being worked on by the Fijian Government and is aimed to be released for testing shortly.
