Background
Digital economy interests developing countries as they can leapfrog developmental stages by harnessing the benefits brought about by digital technologies. Developing countries have made impressive progress in digitalizing many aspects of the traditional industries. Of note is the trade aided by digital platforms, also known as E-commerce. With widespread COVID-19 impacts and arising needs for a green and just recovery from the pandemic, Cities Project has commissioned 15 capacity development trainings and webinars on e-commerce in 2020. Building on results achieved in the past year, in 2021 Cities Project will continue to carry out activities and facilitate capacity development and knowledge GP sharing among cities and institutions under this theme in partnership with specialized agencies and entities.
