Kuwait Combatting COVID-19 | 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 Initiative enables and encourage secure and remote working tools for government entities across Kuwait. The initiative equips government employees with the right communication and technology to work from anywhere while maintaining productivity and ensuring business continuity. In addition, an online training portal was developed to broaden the skills and knowledge of government employees to try and reduce the impact of Covid-19.
