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 Fijian Government through the Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts (MEHA) and the Ministry of Communications are rolling out curriculum content for Fijian students in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is being rolled out on a number of platforms. Radio stations are broadcasting curriculum content for various educational levels at allocated time slots throughout the week.
