Hello  ACORNS subscriber

This month the headlines highlight policy challenges presented by the digital age; and how governments and intergovernmental organisations are responding to them.

At the beginning of September, the United Nations Conference on Trade & Development (UNCTAD) released the first edition of its Digital Economy Report 2019, which presents recent trends and discusses key policies for value creation and capture in the digital economy, notably with regards to entrepreneurship, data, trade, competition, taxation, intellectual property and employment. In the same week, the African Union held an important meeting under its Policy and Regulation Initiative for Digital Africa (PRIDA), a flagship partnership with the European Commission which seeks to address issues of policy making and regulation in relation to digital transformation across the continent; to ensure the active participation of African decision makers in the global internet governance debate; and provide policy support to leaders in the continent (among other things). Meanwhile, UNESCO has announced a renewed commitment with Japan to cooperate on artificial intelligence and cultural diversity, following a bilateral meeting of the Director-General, Audrey Azoulay and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held in Tokyo at the end of last month. And in Ukraine, the government has created a new Ministry of Digital Transformation, as well as a newly formed Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport which will assume the responsibilities assigned to the former Ministry of Information Policy.

The policy challenges – and opportunities – presented by the digital age are also at the fore of our thinking at the moment as we begin work on our new report Supporting Culture in the Digital Age, which we will develop with external expert author Octavio Kulesz. The report will consider key issues related to technology and digitalisation that affect the sector; show how policy makers around the world address these issues; identify the limits of existing knowledge; and determine opportunities for development. An exclusive extended version of the report will be published for our National Members in early 2020, and we look forward to sharing a public version of the report with you in ACORNS soon after.

Los titulares de este mes destacan los retos que presenta la era digital para las políticas públicas y cómo gobiernos y organizaciones intergubernamentales están respondiendo a ellos.

A principios de septiembre, la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Comercio y Desarrollo (UNCTAD) publicó la primera edición de su Informe sobre la Economía Digital 2019, que presenta las tendencias recientes en este ámbito y analiza las políticas clave para la creación y captura de valor en la economía digital, especialmente en lo tocante a emprendimiento, información, comercio, competencia, fiscalidad, propiedad intelectual y empleo. En la misma semana, la Unión Africana celebró una importante reunión de la Iniciativa de Políticas y Regulación para África Digital (PRIDA), una colaboración emblemática con la Comisión Europea que, entre otros objetivos, aborda las políticas públicas y legislación relativas a la transformación digital en el continente, busca garantizar la participación activa de los decisores políticos africanos en el debate sobre la gobernanza global de internet y ofrece apoyo en las políticas públicas a los líderes del continente. Mientras tanto, UNESCO ha renovado su compromiso con Japón para colaborar en inteligencia artificial y diversidad cultural, a raíz de una reunión bilateral entre la directora general Audrey Azulay y el primer ministro Shinzo Abe en Tokio a finales del mes pasado. En Ucrania, el gobierno ha creado un nuevo Ministerio de Transformación Digital, así como un nuevo Ministerio de Cultura, Juventud y Deporte que asumirá las responsabilidades anteriormente asignadas al Ministerio de Política de Información.

Los retos y las oportunidades para las políticas públicas que presenta la era digital llaman nuestra atención de forma importante a medida que empezamos a trabajar en nuestro nuevo informe El apoyo a la cultura en la era digital, que desarrollaremos en colaboración con el experto externo Octavio Kulesz. El informe abordará temas claves sobre tecnología y digitalización que afectan al sector; mostrará cómo los responsables de políticas públicas de todo el mundo afrontan estas cuestiones; indicará las limitaciones en el conocimiento actual; señalará oportunidades para desarrollo y recomendará acciones para la Federación y sus miembros. El informe completo exclusivo para nuestros miembros estará disponible a principios de 2020 y esperamos compartir una versión pública con usted en ACORNS poco después.

Como siempre, si tiene noticias, publicaciones o novedades que le gustaría que difundiésemos, por favor póngase en contacto con el Secretariado en news@ifacca.org
