Fortuitous circumstances led me to visit the United Nations
during the General Assembly week not too long ago. I was
amongst the privileged few to participate as a panelist at the
Digital Future of Development track during the proceedings.
In fact, my good fortune kept adding up. The panel was
conducted by Achim Steiner, administrator of the United
Nations Development Programme. Permit me to provide a
brief overview of the proceedings. Overall, the session
unearthed multi-dimensional perspectives. Unsurprisingly,
really, given that each individual is a trailblazer in their
respective field!
