Harnessing Digital Transformation for Good
4 June 2025

Asia and the Pacific is experiencing rapid digital transformation, offering opportunities to promote inclusive and sustainable development and to strengthen resilience to extreme weather events. However, if not managed well, it can widen inequalities and compromise environmental sustainability.

The Asian Development Policy Report 2025 emphasizes the importance of a national digital strategy that aligns with inclusion and sustainability, utilizes digital policy tools tailored to local circumstances, and fosters engagement with key stakeholders. These are essential to addressing market and equity failures, promoting innovation, and harnessing digital transformation for good.
