Finance the cost of providing home internet to students

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.

With targeted funding from the budget, schools now can finance the cost of providing home internet to students who, for social reasons, do not have access to it and therefore cannot participate in distance learning.
