UN agency to launch blockchain education, advisory programs for governments
The United Nations is preparing to launch a blockchain academy for governments and a UN-led blockchain advisory group to assist countries in adopting the technology.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) plans to launch two initiatives aimed at helping countries adopt blockchain technology.
Robert Pasicko, the leader of UNDP’s financial technology team, AltFinLab, told Cointelegraph at the UN City offices in Copenhagen, Denmark, that the organization plans to launch a blockchain education program for government officials alongside a blockchain advisory body.
The initiative builds on the UNDP’s existing blockchain academy for UN staff, now aimed at helping governments implement blockchain in real-world applications.
