Work from Home Initiative | 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 Ministry of Technology and Communications in cooperation with the National Supreme Committee on Covid-19 has launched the Work from Home Initiative. The initiative aims to provide public officials and staff to continue meetings, conferences and daily tasks from home. The Ministry also created the Technological Innovation committee to oversee all IT initiatives to ensure diversity and strengthen the partnership between sectors to implement the new projects accurately and provide innovative IT solutions.
