This self-paced online course on inclusive digital communication during crises and emergencies was developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This health crisis has revealed the importance of ensuring that everyone can access and utilise digital information provided through digital platforms, which, in such situations, can be vital. The world is facing an unprecedented experience in which Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are, in certain circumstances, almost the only possibility for people to communicate with one another.

Presenting data visually is an effective way of conveying key information, making it an important component of good communication. This module examines how IMOs can turn data into easy-to-interpret information using visualizations. These can be added to information products such as dashboards, presentations, and newsletters to improve the way information is conveyed.

The course is Intended for policy-makers, decision-makers, innovators and ecosystem builders who wish to build thriving entrepreneurial communities that can navigate technological revolutions and create competitive ICT industries. The course introduces key terminologies, concepts, tools and steps to assess your country's innovation capacity through practical information. Upon completion of the course, you will understand: Innovation, digital ecosystems and digital transformation, and their relationship to national development priorities.
