Doha, Qatar: In a significant milestone reflecting Qatar’s leadership in digital transformation, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) has included the Digital Agenda 2030 in its global compendium of best practices in digital government and digital transformation.

This recognition reflects the international appreciation of Qatar’s national experience in developing a comprehensive digital ecosystem that combines long-term strategic vision with phased institutional implementation and establishes a direct link between digital transformation and long-term development objectives. As a result, Qatar’s Digital Agenda is positioned as a global benchmark for countries seeking to align digital transformation with the Sustainable Development Goals.

The inclusion was made by the UN’s Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) following a systematic evaluation of the content and implementation frameworks of the Digital Agenda 2030. The agenda was recognised as an exemplary strategic framework for strategic digital transformation planning, given its clear linkage to Qatar National Vision 2030, its emphasis on ensuring the impact of technology reaches all segments of society, and its support for knowledge-based innovation. 

UN further commended Qatar’s Digital Agenda 2030 for its effective alignment of digital policies with development objectives and for achieving a balanced approach between the adoption of advanced technologies and the principles of inclusivity and sustainability.

This approach reinforces Qatar’s position as a regional and global hub for technological excellence in digital governance and technological development.
