Capacity Building Workshop on Digital Data Governance
May 09, 2025
Organised by
United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), through
the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) and its Project Office - United Nations Project Office on Governance (UNPOG), and
UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)
Background
The Capacity-Building Workshop on Digital Data Governance, co-organized by ESCAP and UN DESA, follows a series of regional workshops organized by UN DESA under its Data Governance project umbrella, and will provide a valuable opportunity for Asia-Pacific senior government officials to learn from experts, exchange best practices with other countries across the region and beyond through South-South and Triangular Cooperation, and strengthen their understanding of digital government and data governance to ensure better policy making at the national level.
This workshop responds to the need for capacity building on digital transformation, including digital data in this new AI age, emphasized in the Outcome Report adopted by the Asia-Pacific Information Superhighway (APIS) Steering Committee at its Eighth Session (APIS SC-8) in September 2024.
Moreover, this event will offer APIS Bureau Members an opportunity to informally review progress on implementing the APIS Action Plan 2022–2026, discuss APIS Working Group activities for 2025, and initiate discussions on drafting the next APIS Action Plan for 2027–2030.
Registration: By invitation only.
