Each phase is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to the country’s specific digital transformation context and priorities.

01
Country Engagement

Upon receipt of a request, BDT engages with the country to co-design the strategy, identifying the lead authority and mapping stakeholders across government, the private sector, and civil society. Stakeholder mapping workshops and high-level dialogues ensure alignment with national priorities before formal strategy work begins.
Output:  Agreed governance structure, stakeholder map, and strategy development plan.

02
Strategy Design

BDT tailors its assistance to the country’s needs — conducting a strategic analysis, articulating a shared vision, defining KPIs and expected outcomes, and creating a roadmap and workplan aligned with the UN SDGs and relevant regional frameworks. A funding strategy is integrated throughout, highlighting public-private partnership opportunities and ITU-D grant mechanisms.
Output:  A tailored National Digital Transformation Strategy with roadmap, workplan, KPIs, and a monitoring and evaluation framework.

03
Strategy Implementation

BDT and the country agree on the implementation roadmap and short- and medium-term action plans. BDT assists with resource allocation, drafts annual implementation plans with sector-specific targets, and facilitates capacity-building workshops for policymakers. Real-time dashboards track progress and risk mitigation strategies are embedded throughout.
Output:  Concrete action plans and implementation reports to support operational monitoring and control.

04
Monitoring and Evaluation

BDT conducts regular reviews using predefined metrics to measure socio-economic impact, such as GDP growth linked to digital adoption.
Output:  Evaluation report with updated country status, lessons learned, and recommended adjustments for the next strategy cycle.
