Digital Solidarity

Innovative response

The Office for IT and eGovernment launched a Digital Solidarity Portal, available at www.digitalnasolidarnost.gov.rs, intended to improve the quality of life to all those who are staying at home due to the corona virus pandemic. www.digitalnasolidarnost.gov.rs is the first government-launched crowd sourcing platform. It is providing information about free platforms for distance learning, working from home, as well as free books, courses, music, films and other educational and entertaining content during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact

Sharing is Caring. A number of socially-responsible organisations, such as Microsoft, IBM, Telekom Srbija, IT4BIZ, PKS Partner, VIP, Semos, Petlja, Nutanix and many more shared their resources free of charge with the Serbia's citizens. To date, there have been 100,000 visitors, with citizens being most interested in work-from-home platforms, but also theater plays and virtual museum tours.
