Digital Landscape Assessment of Iraq

Digital transformation has become an imperative in the face of the crises. Travel bans, physical closure of schools, workplaces, and businesses, the increased need for the provision of online services due to the lockdown restrictions imposed (e.g. healthcare services) have prompted countries to turn to digital solutions to be able to operate effectively. Within this regard, UNDP and Estonia’s e-Governance Academy (eGA) in close coordination with the Council of Ministers Secretariat (COMSec) developed a Digital Landscape Assessment tool to support Iraq to assess its digital landscape within the framework of the SDGs and identify digital entry points for acceleration towards the SDGs. The overall aim of the tool is to support Iraq in the development of its digital transformation roadmaps, as well as inform the national development plan and sector strategies.
