A Tool to Track the Key Components of an Inclusive Digital Economy
The inclusive digital economy scorecard (IDES) is a strategic performance tool developed by the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF). The IDES is a policy tool that governments can use to help set the priorities of their country's digital transformation. It identifies the key market constraints hindering the development of an inclusive digital economy and helps set the right priorities with public and private stakeholders in each country to foster a digital economy that leaves no one behind.

The UNCDF country teams work locally to collect primary data and engage with governments to establish IDES as a strategic policy tool to monitor and track the development of country’s inclusive digital transformation.
In August 2020, the 2020 version of IDES was released and implemented in 4 pilot countries (Uganda, Solomon Islands, Nepal and Burkina Faso). To support this process, UNCDF worked closely with the governments of these 4 countries to further strengthen the tool and complement the recommendations from the reference group.
