Digital Solidarity | 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.

Digital solidarity (Solidarietà Digitale) aims to help Italians to maintain their daily routine, in compliance with the measures for the containment of the spread of the Coronavirus. The initiative aims to provide free services for citizens, professionals and companies, such as fast and free connectivity and the use of advanced smart working platforms; free online newspapers or e-books; e-learning platforms; digital online services such as medical or professional advice; etc.
