TechFlow, September 16 — According to Cointelegraph, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will partner with Exponential Science Foundation, a nonprofit organization advocating blockchain and artificial intelligence, to launch a "Blockchain Academy for Governments" next year.
The academy will provide government agencies with professional education and implementation programs on blockchain, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies to help governments drive transformation. It will focus on leveraging blockchain technology to address pressing development challenges, including creating trusted and verifiable digital credentials, improving financial services and digital payments, tracking and accounting for public procurement processes, tamper-proof record keeping to combat corruption, and using tokens and smart contracts for climate financing.
The academy is scheduled to begin rolling out in select countries starting 2026, with curriculum design work commencing this year.
