With recorded lectures, interactive workshops, and practical assignments, it guarantees a well-rounded education. More than 22,000 UNDP personnel in 170 nations and territories will have access to the instructional materials, expanding the chance for colleagues at other UN agencies to receive training and upskilling.

Algorand Foundation Hails Partnership For Tech Innovation

The Algorand Foundation’s Head of Education and Inclusion, Doro Unger-Lee, expressed delight about the partnership and emphasized how it could spur technological advancement and innovation for the benefit of society.

The effort is considered a crucial initial step towards determining and providing practical, on-the-ground blockchain use cases to support the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals across multiple disciplines.

For a number of years, the UN has been investigating blockchain applications. In order to encourage the use of DLT for social benefit, the UNDP and the Blockchain Charity Foundation (BCF) teamed in 2018.

The United Nations is increasingly embracing web3 and distributed ledger technology, and this course is just the latest example.

The UN WFP launched Food for Crisis in 2022 as a project to track donor monies’ utilization with web3 technologies.
