Work from Home | 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 Fijian Government initiated a Work from Home Policy for civil servants not part of the essential services in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The Ministry of Communications acquired support from Microsoft to utilize its Teams platform to enable civil servants to remotely hold virtual meetings, communicate and carry out designated tasks on Government issued Laptops and Portable Wi-Fi devices.
