In a groundbreaking effort to bridge the digital divide and foster inclusion, Colombia is leveraging innovative tools and partnerships through the Joint SDG Fund. The new joint UN programme, spearheaded by Mireia Villar Forner, the UN Resident Coordinator in Colombia, underscores the importance of integrating digital solutions into national infrastructure development to ensure that large-scale investments function as public goods.
“This initiative, funded by the Joint SDG Fund’s Digitalization Window, positions us within a critical ecosystem,” the UN Resident Coordinator emphasized. “It ensures that the significant infrastructure investments taking place are public goods for the country, turning digitalization into a vehicle for inclusion, especially in the most peripheral territories.”
