I& #39;ve been a little quiet around here. We have been hard at work @DIAL_community though and we& #39;ve been up to some good things! I& #39;m going to try and share some of them this week, starting today with our work on #digitaltransformation and a new publication that will drop later on!
First off, our Listening Study, out earlier this month, in partnership with @RealSmartAfrica - we interviewed representatives of 10 African governments to understand barriers to #wholeofgovernment #digitaltransformation, e.g. funding, skills, coordination. https://twitter.com/DIAL_community/status/1314257503287418880?s=20">https://twitter.com/DIAL_comm...
In September, we hosted a Mainstage Panel and Strategic Dialogue at the #Concordia20 Annual Summit, and discussed #digitaltransformation opportunities and barriers with African leaders, international organizations and donors, and technology providers: https://digitalimpactalliance.org/concordia-report-pushing-global-actors-to-embrace-a-national-digital-transformation-agenda/">https://digitalimpactalliance.org/concordia...
The video of our #Concordia20 Strategic Dialogue session is out! A great discussion feat. @RealSmartAfrica @ICTAuthorityKE @SidaICT4D @giz_gmbh @UNDP @cloudera @Microsoft and of course @DIAL_community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdXeSAP5OAI">https://www.youtube.com/watch... #digitaltransformation
And just yesterday we signed an agreement with @ITU, @DIAL_community, @BMZ_Bund & @MFAestonia to develop a “Reference #DigitalGovernment #SDG Platform” that will make it easier for governments to deliver services with people-centered digital solutions https://twitter.com/EconMinEstonia/status/1321091145926103043">https://twitter.com/EconMinEs...
Today I& #39;m proud to share our first @DIAL_community Leadership Brief: bitesize takeaways on #digitaltransformation - this is what we think all global digital development leaders need to know and do if we& #39;re to accelerate progress and meet the SDGs in 2030. https://digitalimpactalliance.org/accelerating-national-digital-transformation-announcing-the-first-in-dials-new-series-of-leadership-briefs/">https://digitalimpactalliance.org/accelerat...
We& #39;re urging leaders to : 1. put national digital agendas first 2. resource and encourage #digitaltransformation work to involve the whole of society 3. respect and support regional frameworks and platforms, and 4 align and coordinate funding. Don& #39;t be part of the problem!
Proud of the @DIAL_community team & grateful to @RealSmartAfrica for partnership on our listening study. Also to @UNDP_innovation @giz_gmbh @PublicDigitalHQ @ICT4DatUNCTAD for review and comments. Leadership Briefs on #responsibledata and #LeaveNoOneBehind later this year!
I& #39;ll profile more of our work tomorrow, focusing on #datafordevelopment. I& #39;ll also be moderating the launch of @humdata& #39;s predictive data model for COVID-19 spread and prevention: https://midasnetwork.us/modeling-covid-19-to-inform-humanitarian-operations/">https://midasnetwork.us/modeling-... join us for a fantastic conversation! #responsibledata
So today& #39;s addition to this thread summarizes some of the key work me and my team @DIAL_community have been working hard on. We& #39;ve focused on our own internal systems and policies, and sometimes I get to help out friends in the #responsibledata space!
