Background information
Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) refers to solutions and systems that enable the effective provision of essential society-wide functions and services in the public and private sectors. This includes but is not limited to digital forms of ID and verification, civil registration, payment (digital transactions and money transfers), data exchange, and information systems. A country's digital public infrastructure may include implementations of multiple proprietary and/or open-source solutions (including digital public goods).
This workshop will focus on: 1) The role and importance of Infrastructure Concepts, to include DPI and Shared Services and the potential role of Digital Public Goods (DPGs) in building it; and 2) examples of digital government and smart city/community services based on the needs and interests of the communities they serve.
