The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), through its Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) and its Project Office on Governance (UNPOG), and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) with the support of the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) Malaysia co-organized an Online Training Workshop on “Government Innovation for Social Inclusion of Vulnerable Groups” to pilot the Training Toolkit on the same topic. Some selected Modules from the Toolkit were covered during the 2-day Training Workshop.
The Training Workshop intended to develop capacities of government officials and other stakeholders responsible for social inclusion of vulnerable groups by introducing approaches, strategies and tools for advancing governance innovation and leveraging ICTs and digital government to promote social inclusion of vulnerable groups. During the Training, participants exchanged cases and lessons learned, including on public health emergencies and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Training included lectures focusing on innovative practices and group discussions, which enabled participants to transform in-depth learning into practice.
