From a political policy perspective, this research aims to analyze sustainable digital technology in supporting social recovery in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. The resilience of most countries has been weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in severe health and social and economic disruption. This research method is included in the category of normative research, also called library research, which looks at library materials or secondary data provided by online media, social media, and related journals. Apart from using the literature study method, this research also uses a questionnaire to collect comprehensive data. Next, content analysis using the computer-assisted qualitative document analysis tool NVivo 12 with data processing programs is used in the analysis process. Based on study findings regarding the role of sustainable digital technology in encouraging social recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, political movements can be influenced by sustainable digital technology at the national and international levels. This is proven by the results of data analysis carried out by researchers. Even though the impact is quite felt in various sectors, with the right policies, it is hoped that all sectors can improve and recover, uniting to restore the country. The corporate and economic fields are also the same. Understanding and using technology responsibly in this digital era is essential to adapt to the ongoing digital changes.
