Wehubit D4D Programme Enabel: 
Leveraging the impact of the Belgian Cooperation through Digitalisation (2018-2023) Programme D4D: Augmenter l'impacte de la Cooperation au Développement Belge par la numérique In line with the 2030 Agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals that have been defined by the United Nations, and with the Belgian Development Cooperation’s Strategic Policy on ‘Digital for Development’, the D4D programme aims to support and to enhance the digitalisation to accelerate the sustainable development, increase prosperity, reduce inequalities and to empower people and businesses of developing and emerging countries.
The intervention is presented as a Belgian Cooperation Initiative, where BIO and Enabel will fund D4D projects and act as a partnership broker for these projects. The two public institutions will collaborate during the implementation by bringing their respective strengths in managing the different financing instruments: grants, loans and equities. l'usage des technologies numériques représente un levier majeur pour favoriser le développement, aider les populations les plus vulnérables et fournir de meilleurs services aux citoyens. Le potentiel est immense, nottamment pour la réalisation des ODD (obejctifs de développement durable).
Dans le but de faire usage de ce potentiel, la coopération belge au développement a développé une stratégie sur le numérique au service du déveloopement (D4D) en 2016. Le programme Wehubit s'inscrit dans la droite ligne de cette stratégie et ambitionne de donner une impulsion dans la réalisation concrète de celle-ci.
COVID-TAG: Enabel a mis en oeuvre une gestion des risques qui a débouché sur des modifications concrètes d’activités de projets pour s’adapter à la lutte contre le covid19. The general objective is to contribute to the SDGs through digitalisation.

 The specific objective is to increase use and access to digital solutions offering better living conditions in developing and emerging countries.  The program is built around 5 outcomes:1) An accessible funding mechanism for D4D projects contributing to the achievement of the SDGs is operational 2) Public entities, social enterprises and nonprofit organizations have implemented projects providing digital solutions through grants 3) More private actors have access to better financial solutions to implement their investment project 4) Facilitation of partnerships and capitalization result in increased collaboration on D4D 5) Additional funds are mobilized to expand the program Geographic scope
The intervention will target projects being implemented in the scope of action of Enabel for grants (currently the 14 official partner countries of the Belgian Development Cooperation) and BIO for loans/equities (52 countries located in Africa, Asia, Latin America). The focus of the intervention will be on the African continent8.
