United Nations Video: Accelerating Digital Transformation for Sustainable Development - Press Conference | UN DESA
Press Conference by Navid Hanif, Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, UN DESA and Vincenzo Aquaro, Chief of Digital Government Branch, Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government, UN DESA, on the 2024 edition of the United Nations E-Government Survey – Accelerating Digital Transformation for Sustainable Development.
The Survey explores key trends and innovations that are shaping the future of public administration, with a focus on building resilience and inclusive digital infrastructures among the 193 United Nations Member States and the most populous city in each country.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
UN experts highlighted the uneven progress in digital transformation globally, urging accelerated efforts to bridge the digital divide, especially in developing regions.
Navid Hanif, UN Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development, stressed that while digital government advancements have accelerated post-pandemic, disparities remain across regions.
Briefing reporters on Tuesday (17 Sep) at UN Headquarters, Hanif said, "The development of digital government has seen a significant upward trend. That's good news, and it's worldwide, with all regions leveraging technology to enhance government services and improve people's engagement." However, he added, "the pace of development has been uneven, and regional disparities in digital development persist. Still, 1.37 billion people remain on the wrong side of the digital divide, with no access."
Vincenzo Aquaro, Chief of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs Digital Government Branch presented data on the world's top digital performers. He highlighted that 18 countries are currently classified in the highest digital government rating class, with Denmark leading globally.
Aquaro said, "this rating class includes 18 countries, 10 from Europe, six from Asia, and two from Oceania, making a net increase of three countries from the previous editions. Denmark remains the top global performer, followed by Estonia and Singapore.” He added that new entrants to the list include Germany, Norway, and Spain, alongside advances in Asia by Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
The briefing also shed light on the regulatory progress in emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). Aquaro pointed out that 90 countries have some form of AI legislation, though gaps remain.
Emphasizing the need for broader global cooperation in AI governance, he said, "while this progress is encouraging, it's important to note that the number of countries with AI legislation still falls significantly short of those with well-established digital government strategies."
Aquaro further called for increased support to developing nations, particularly in Africa, to ensure they are not left behind in the digital era. He said, "we don't want to see the world divided by the richest and the poorest. Now it's important to share with other countries and support as much as possible developing countries."

United Nations Video: Press Conference with UN's Chief before the 79th High-level session of General Assembly | #UNGA
Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:
-Occupied Palestinian Territory
-Haiti
-Ukraine
-Myanmar
-Democratic Republic of the Congo
-West Africa
-Scientific Advisory Board
-World Patient Safety Day
-Briefings
Occupied Palestinian Territory
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that today its team was able to reach northern Gaza for the first time in four weeks. OCHA was leading an inter-agency assessment mission to Gaza City. However, they were only able to reach the north after being forced to wait for more than five hours before and at the Israeli checkpoint on the Coastal Road.
OCHA warns that access to the north remains extremely limited for aid workers from the UN and other organizations. During the first half of this month, out of nearly 50 missions led by seven different UN agencies – all of which had been fully coordinated with the Israeli authorities – only a quarter could cross into the north through the Israeli checkpoints along Wadi Gaza.
Even when these missions could cross, they often faced impediments along the way.
Some convoys were stopped at gunpoint, shot at, or forced to wait for hours in the middle of a war zone. These incidents posed unacceptable risks to our staff’s safety and prevented these missions from completing their work. OCHA stresses that when humanitarian missions are not facilitated, it deprives Palestinians in Gaza of the food, the water, the shelter, health and other services essential for their survival. People in Gaza need more supplies, including basic items such as soap, to enter the Strip. It is also critical that these humanitarian goods and services reach all parts of Gaza, wherever needed. Without exception, security assurances provided to aid organizations and humanitarian missions must be reliable and fully respected.
Haiti
Turning to Haiti, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that violence continues to displace families in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area.
The latest clashes between armed groups in the neighbourhoods of Cité Soleil and Delmas displaced more than 2,000 people last week – and that is just in two days, between September 11 and 13.
More than 170,000 people are now displaced in the capital. While most of them are staying with host families, three new temporary sites have sprung up.
We and our partners in Haiti continue to support people in need across the country, including by providing food, water and sanitation as well as health care support.
The International Organization for Migration also continues to distribute blankets, solar lamps and kitchen kits to displaced people.
And as the new school year is approaching, the World Food Programme plans to provide school meals to 495,000 children. Many of these meals will be sourced from local smallholder farmers.
The $674 million Humanitarian Response Plan for Haiti is currently only 39 per cent funded with $263 million actually received in our bank account. We continue to call for increased support for the humanitarian response to help the Haitian people.
Ukraine
In Ukraine, we are told by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs that overnight attacks have left hundreds of thousands of people without power in the Sumy region in the north of the country. According to local authorities and the regional power company, 280,000 consumers – which include households, public facilities and businesses – were left without power. Water supply and critical services were also impacted. Water facilities and hospitals, and other civilian infrastructure, are right now running on backup systems.
Despite the challenging circumstances, humanitarian organizations continue to provide assistance across the country. In the first seven months of the year we, along with our partners, provided aid to 6.2 million people.
Nearly 2.9 million people received food aid; 1.4 million received health services, and 1 million benefitted from winter energy support and the distribution of emergency shelter materials and essential items.
The $3 billion Humanitarian Response Plan is currently only 44 per cent funded with $1.37 billion received, leaving a significant gap in addressing the urgently emergency needs and the preparations for winter.

BBC News Video: Hezbollah vows to punish Israel after pager blasts kill 9, injure thousands | BBC News
The militia group Hezbollah promised revenge against Israel after accusing it of detonating pagers across Lebanon on Tuesday, killing nine people and wounding nearly 3,000 others including Iran's envoy to Beirut. A girl of eight was reported to be among the dead and at least 200 people were said to be critically injured.
Lebanon’s Information Minister Ziad Makary condemned the detonation of the pagers - handheld devices that Hezbollah and others in Lebanon use to send messages - as an "Israeli aggression". Hezbollah said Israel would receive "its fair punishment".
Lebanon’s public health minister described the attacks as "a major escalation at a time when everybody was hoping that things were moving to a kind of cessation of hostilities or some kind of ceasefire”. He said Israel was the "obvious culprit".
Israel has declined to comment on the cause of the explosions.

BBC News Video: How bulldozers became a vehicle of injustice in India | BBC News
Bulldozers are traditionally used across the world to build homes, offices, roads and other infrastructures.
But in recent years, many say they have become a weapon in the hands of India's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government to destroy the homes and livelihoods of the minority Muslim community.
BJP leaders have defended their actions, saying "nothing is done against the law".
But the demolitions have been criticised in India and made headlines globally, with critics saying there is "only the thinnest veneer of legality covering this official action" and that they "are bulldozing over the very spirit of the law".

Two Hezbollah fighters and a girl were killed after pagers exploded in Lebanon on Tuesday.
The blasts occurred simultaneously in southern Beirut and other regions, injuring hundreds.
CCTV footage captured one explosion in a man’s trouser pocket at a shop counter.
Hezbollah called the blasts “mysterious” and launched an investigation into the cause.
The explosions happened in areas heavily populated by Hezbollah supporters and members.
Initial reports suggest the detonations were triggered by handheld pagers used by Hezbollah members.
