In December 2015, the UN General Assembly highlighted the cross-cutting contribution of information and communications technology (ICT) to the Sustainable Development Goals. The digital solutions analyzed in this report – such as, e-health, e-learning and smart building – will be indispensable in reaching the goals on the very tight timetable the UN has set.
