La Academia acercará a funcionarios públicos a conocimiento especializado, expertos internacionales y casos prácticos para explorar el potencial de #Blockchain en áreas como identidad y pagos digitales, inclusión financiera, gobernanza, acción climática e innovación pública.

🇸🇻 El Salvador officially joins the inaugural 2026 cohort of the #GovernmentBlockchainAcademy. ✨ Launched with @PNUDSV, the Academy will work with +300 public officials across @MedioAmbienteSV, @recolectoressv, @rnpn_sv and @AgenciaEsco. Over the coming months, they will build the knowledge and practical tools to assess where blockchain and related emerging technologies can support public-sector priorities, how they can fit within existing systems, and what responsible implementation requires. 💡 For El Salvador, the Academy connects with ongoing work on digital transformation and digital readiness, including the country’s 2025 Digital Readiness Assessment and efforts around digital inclusion and the governance and use of emerging technologies.

"The question every government asks now is how to keep meaningful resilience around their national data." AI is changing how software gets built and how services reach people, and countries are choosing the infrastructure they will run on in the middle of it. Ali Theyab Al-Zuhairi shared his thoughts on what the UNDP brings to that choice: trust. He calls it the real currency. @AliATheyab @UNDP

🪙 Digital finance is moving fast, and governments need practical ways to assess where digital assets, tokenization, blockchain and DLTs can actually improve public systems. At @UN Headquarters, @UNDP joined the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN (@PakistanUN_NY), @UNCTAD, @ODET_UN and other partners to connect policy thinking with real implementation experience. The focus was practical value across payments, financial inclusion, digital identity and access to finance, with public value and safeguards at the core. 🌟 Supported by @UNDP_AltFinLab, the briefing also built on work through the #GovernmentBlockchainAcademy and #SDGBlockchainAccelerator, bringing country experience, institutional learning and implementation pathways into the room.

🌟 The #SDGBlockchainAccelerator is a global @UNDP_AltFinLab initiative that develops and scales practical solutions powered by blockchain, AI, and other emerging technologies to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is delivered in strategic partnership with @ChainforGood , alongside @Cardano_CF, @StellarOrg, @partisiampc, @dfinity and @flock_io.

📣 Calling @UN teams working on development projects with challenges that could benefit from emerging technology. Our #SDGBlockchainAccelerator team is holding regional briefings to walk colleagues through what the Accelerator offers and answer any questions you may have about your project or the application process. 👇 Pick the session that works for you: innovation.eurasia.undp.org/…

✨ Governments need AI systems they can inspect and hold accountable. That concern followed our team across #AIforGood 2026, where trust remained unresolved. 🌟 AltFinLab’s work on systems that can be independently checked offers practical ground for what comes next...

Blockchain solutions are taking the spotlight in a special UN 2.0 Data & Digital Solutions Expo, organized with @UN_Innovation. Join 6 showcases from @UNDP, @UNICEF and @WFP on July 15, 9:30-10:30 AM ET. Register: wfp-org-conference.zoom.us/w… #Blockchain #UNInnovation

Digital payments have proven they can reach people that conventional systems often cannot. Today, we’re announcing the extension of our partnership with @StellarOrg to help make blockchain-based payments a regular part of programme delivery. Read more: innovation.eurasia.undp.org/…

Some of the most useful learning in emerging tech happens close to live delivery. AltFinLab’s new #VDAP call is now open for @UNDP and @UNCDF personnel, connecting selected colleagues with workstreams in blockchain, AI, digital payments and the #SDGBlockchainAccelerator.

At #HSC26, @UNDP hosted a session with @UNDPEurasia director @Ivana_Zivkovic_, @F_Gregaard at @Cardano_CF and Candace Kelly at @StellarOrg to discuss how stronger partnerships can help translate emerging technologies into sustainable development outcomes. #DigitalTransformation

✨ At @proofoftalk in Paris, the #SDGBlockchainAccelerator Impact Showcase connected practical blockchain use cases with builders and ecosystem actors. One outcome of this session was the new partner conversations for cohort 3 of the accelerator, which will open soon...

🌟 As this is the ninth and final Blockchain Talk of the season, we hope you can join us for a practical closing discussion on one of the most active intersections in digital public infrastructure. 👇 undp.zoom.us/webinar/registe…
