Joint Programme on Inclusive, Competitive, and Responsible Digital Philippines (JP Digital PINAS) Briefer

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) make up 99.6% of businesses in the Philippines. But despite being regarded as a lifeline of the Philippine economy, MSMEs face challenges that hinder them from growing to their full potential. Among these challenges is the lack of access to positive and productive digital technologies.

The Joint Programme on Inclusive, Competitive, and Responsible Digital Philippines, (JP Digital PINAS), aims to help pave the road for individuals, enterprises, and communities at the margins to close the digital divide.

Collaboration and localization lie at the heart of JP Digital PINAS. Through the support of the Joint SDG Fund, Philippine government agencies, and participating United Nations Agencies, the JP envisions a digital ecosystem where every MSME owner, up to the country’ last mile, gets ahead thriving, competitive, and ready for the boundless digital marketplace that awaits them.
