One of the primary activities of the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) in the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs is the assessment of the use and potential of ICTs to transform the public sector in all 193 Member States in their official languages through its flagship publication entitled the United Nations E-Government Survey. Based on a questionnaire provided by DPIDG, the volunteer is expected to participate in data research and assessment of Member States’ national portals and associated official website(s) to collect data on the provision of e-services for the 2022 UN E-government Survey.
