Accelerating Africa’s digital transformation with UNDP

Governments are under pressure to deliver on multiple agendas in parallel. Resilient and effective energy supply and consumption are key components of sustainable growth and competitiveness. This requires bold government policies and, not least, full implementation of a diverse range of supporting policy instruments.
Cross-functional areas such as granting permissions, transitioning subsidies, and monitoring are examples of policy instruments requiring effective implementation.
Denmark has consistently been among the international front-runners in digital government, ranking number one in the UN’s eGovernment rankings for the past 8 years. The cBrain F2® platform was born out of a partnership with the Danish government and has since evolved into a standard for delivering fast and efficient solutions while eliminating IT project risks.
F2 is a fully integrated, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software platform built for government. The platform enables public administration to configure and adapt digital workflows to support changing policy requirements.
Today, the F2 platform is used in most Danish ministries and agencies, with increasing international expansion and customers across five continents.
In Denmark, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can digitize a new grant or permitting process with 25 hours of work using the F2 platform - without involving IT consultants or developers. The Danish EPA has chosen to onboard all grants, permits, and inspection processes onto a single platform to reduce implementation time and increase efficiency in case processing.
The Danish Energy Agency has automated grant applications and developed digital processes for offshore wind project management on the same digital platform. As a result, Denmark’s green transition is being fast-tracked with digital processing on a standard platform built for government.
The Danish Agency for Green Transition and Aquatic Environment provides grants for afforestation and land repurposing with seamless integration from their GIS-portal to their grant-application and management system
The F2 platform allows governments to copy and adapt software at high speed and reuse Danish government best practices. Today, the best practice for energy efficiency grants in Danish homes has been reused in Eastern Europe, and land-repurposing solutions from Denmark are now providing Californian landowners with sustainable farming plans.
These and many other projects prove that governments can share tools across borders and languages, making government IT a viable pathway – rather than a roadblock - for an accelerated green transition.
