BGA and UNDP Launch Two-Year Partnership to Enhance Digital Safety and Cybersecurity

The Blockchain for Good Alliance, a non-profit initiative created by Bybit, has entered into a two-year partnership with the United Nations Development Programme. The agreement aims to build cybersecurity knowledge and strengthen digital safety capabilities across public development sector initiatives. Signed during a summit in Singapore, the collaboration will leverage private-sector cybersecurity expertise to assist public institutions in managing emerging digital tools.

As public agencies increasingly rely on blockchain and digital networks for tasks such as managing identities, distributing payments, providing aid, and recording public transactions, securing these networks against sophisticated cyber threats and artificial intelligence-driven fraud has become vital. The effort aims to shield public infrastructure and safeguard government funds by addressing core issues like data privacy, secure digital payment flows, and overall public system reliability.

Over the two-year period, the initiative will be executed through the UNDP Alternative Finance Lab alongside the Alliance. Public officials and international institutions will receive specialized advisory support and education through existing frameworks, including the SDG Blockchain Accelerator and the Government Blockchain Academy. Program activities will focus on helping governments build long-term capabilities in cyber threat prevention, incident response, and system recovery.
