PANews reported on November 6th, citing Cointelegraph, that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will launch two initiatives to help countries adopt blockchain technology. Robert Pasicko, head of its fintech team, AltFinLab, stated that the UNDP plans to establish blockchain education programs for government officials and set up an advisory body. The new academy will be operational "within weeks," and four national governments will be selected for collaboration, with formal approval expected within one or two weeks. He pointed out that training is only one part of the initiative; the organization will further promote its implementation through project development. Research shows that there are 300 potential use cases for governments willing to adopt blockchain technology. At the UN General Assembly in New York, 25 top blockchain companies (including the Ethereum Foundation, the Stellar Foundation, and Polygon Labs) discussed the idea of establishing a blockchain advisory group led by the UNDP. Pasicko stated that if all goes well, the project could launch within two to three months. Furthermore, the UNDP has already launched pilot projects in 20 countries, with its partner Decaf, a cryptocurrency payment system that helps individuals access financial services without going through banks.PANews reported on November 6th, citing Cointelegraph, that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will launch two initiatives to help countries adopt blockchain technology.
