For small island developing States (S IDS)\, information and communications technology (ICT) and electronic comm erce (e-commerce) have immense potential for supporting the participation of SIDS in international and regional markets\, building resilience and re covering better from disasters. Despite its importance\, the digital econo my in SIDS is still in an early stage of development. The common challenge s in the digital transformation of SIDS include not only access to afforda ble digital infrastructure\, but also the lack of adequate legal framework s and digital identity system which can facilitate the take-up of e-commer ce and the transition to a digital economy. Furthermore\, the lack of offi cial national statistics on ICT use and e- commerce constitutes a handicap for the formulation and evaluation of digital development policies. The c oronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has reinforced pre-existing bottlen ecks in the e-commerce ecosystem of SIDS.\n\nThis project will contribute to strengthening the capacities of SIDS in Africa\, the Caribbean and Asia and the Pacific to adopt trade policies that foster digital economy devel opment and enhance crisis responsiveness. Specifically\, it aims at streng thening the capacities of SIDS on key aspects of the digital economy throu gh the development of skills\, knowledge with innovative development appro aches based on a recognized blended learning method and state-of-the-art t echnological solutions.\n\nObjectives\n\nThe objective of the course is to identify and draft policies on digital identity related to trade and deve lopment.

For small island developing States (S IDS)\, information and communications technology (ICT) and electronic comm erce (e-commerce) have immense potential for supporting the participation of SIDS in international and regional markets\, building resilience and re covering better from disasters. Despite its importance\, the digital econo my in SIDS is still in an early stage of development. The common challenge s in the digital transformation of SIDS include not only access to afforda ble digital infrastructure\, but also the lack of adequate legal framework s and digital identity system which can facilitate the take-up of e-commer ce and the transition to a digital economy. Furthermore\, the lack of offi cial national statistics on ICT use and e- commerce constitutes a handicap for the formulation and evaluation of digital development policies. The c oronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has reinforced pre-existing bottlen ecks in the e-commerce ecosystem of SIDS.\n\nThis project will contribute to strengthening the capacities of SIDS in Africa\, the Caribbean and Asia and the Pacific to adopt trade policies that foster digital economy devel opment and enhance crisis responsiveness. Specifically\, it aims at streng thening the capacities of SIDS on key aspects of the digital economy throu gh the development of skills\, knowledge with innovative development appro aches based on a recognized blended learning method and state-of-the-art t echnological solutions.\n\nObjectives\n\nThe objective of the course is to identify and draft policies on digital identity related to trade and deve lopment. It includes defining:\n\n\nThe limits of data protection and digi tal identity\nThe scope of digital identity governance\nThe risks and solu tions related to digital\n\n\nProgramme outline\n\nEach course module incl udes interactive assessments and links to communication tools for online i nteraction. Every module consists of video presentations\, a participant m anual\, a forum\, tests and case studies.
