Background
The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) plays a crucial role in strengthening governance and public institutions to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Recognizing that innovation and equitable governance are key to achieving the SDGs, UN DESA emphasizes the need for government innovation to support people in vulnerable situations.

Public institutions must adopt inclusive policies, innovative strategies, and participatory governance models to ensure that marginalized groups are empowered, engaged, and integrated into decision-making processes. This course is organized by UN DESA through the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG), and its Project Office on Governance (UNPOG). It aligns with UN DESA's commitment to strengthening the capacities of governments in building inclusive societies and promoting responsive governance that leaves no one behind.

Objectives
The 2026 Edition of the Blended eLearning course aims to build capacities to promote government innovation for social inclusion of those who are vulnerable by introducing approaches, strategies, and real-world experience. It also highlights the importance of empowering and engaging marginalized groups as agents of change in policy design, implementation, and monitoring processes.
