The E-Commerce and Digital Economy branch of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is organizing an online briefing session with the theme “Cross-border data flows and development: For whom the data flow”.
The briefing session will share the main findings of the recently launched Digital Economy Report 2021 and offer an opportunity to discuss synergies among partners and stakeholders of eTrade Readiness Assessments, eTrade for all, and eTrade for Women.
About the Report
The Digital Economy Report 2021 takes a deep dive into the development and policy implications of cross-border flows of digital data.
The Report provides a fresh and holistic view of this particular kind of international economic flow. It examines recent trends and global developments in the data-driven digital economy, and reviews existing data governance approaches at national, regional and multilateral levels.
The Report calls for innovative governance approaches that reflect the multiple and interlinked dimensions of data, balance different interests and needs, in a way that supports inclusive and sustainable development with the full participation of all countries.
