The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digital and data-driven transformation, globally and in Europe and Central Asia. Digitalization today permeates every aspect of our economic, political and social lives. Entrepreneurs can leverage digital technologies to scale up their businesses, citizens can make use of the mobile internet and digital devices to participate in consultations and democratic processes, migrants can use mobile money operators to send remittances back home, older people and people with disabilities can access telemedicine services more easily, and workers can take advantage of flexible work arrangements and teleworking opportunities to balance their private and public lives.
