Session Report

This DTN session brought together Chief Information Officers (CIOs) from across the UN system to advance strategic initiatives focused on operational efficiency and digital transformation. Discussions centered on identifying opportunities for inter-agency collaboration, cost optimization, and enhanced cybersecurity using shared services and emerging technologies. Building on the outcomes of HLCM discussion on efficiencies, DTN focused on measures prioritized by the Committee where ICT is either the driver or the enabler. Plenary discussions were informed by the outcomes of the recent HLCM and guided by core principles: preventing monopolies, promoting healthy competition, and eliminating duplication to foster a more effective and collaborative approach.
