Digitalization in Latin America means solutions to fit diverse needs

e-Governance Academy Season 4 Episode 28

The past decade has seen digitalization efforts in Latin America and the Caribbean area ramp up rapidly. Development has been fast, but not homogenous. Differing approaches across countries have created a map of digitalization, so to say, that sees governments in the region excel at different things. So what’s the way forward, in such a rapidly moving landscape?

Carlos Vargas is an Expert at the Competence Centre for Government and Engagement of e-Governance Academy, currently based in Chile. In this episode, we explore with him the current status of digitalization in Latin America, and how diverse challenges and opportunities call for country-tailored approaches to propel digital development in the region.
