Information security and privacy | 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.

The campaign aims to stop the spread of false news or 'fake news' about coronavirus. It has two purposes: to teach people to identify fake news and instruct them where to report it. Citizens are taught about the importance of preventing the spread online by showing the negative impacts that fake news can have.
