Overview

eGov Foundation has committed to adopting the Universal DPI Safeguards Framework across its advisory, capacity-building, and implementation support for Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Digital Public Goods (DPGs). The organization will apply relevant safeguards principles at appropriate lifecycle stages of its DIGIT open-source, interoperable platform implementations and promote inclusive, equitable, and accessible DPI design and governance. The commitment also includes strengthening government capacity and local ecosystems to develop and sustain locally owned, contextually relevant, and resilient digital infrastructure. eGov Foundation will share implementation experiences, lessons learned, and good practices with the global community to advance safe, inclusive, and sustainable DPI adoption.

Map and operationalise Universal Safeguards across DIGIT’s lifecycle

Map DIGIT’s architecture and programmatic potential against the Universal Safeguards to demonstrate how they can be operationalised at different lifecycle stages. In addition, develop an action plan to address any identified gaps.

Embedding inclusion in digital transformation

Apply an inclusion lens to national digital transformation strategies, roadmaps and programme designs. This will include inputs and advisory on access to all (including assisted and non digital access); data privacy and governance; overcoming barriers to language and gender; ensuring meaningful participation of all concerned actors in the ecosystem.

Strengthening government capacity to adopt DPI

Strengthen strategic govt. capacity to design, adopt and sustain DPI programmes through design thinking workshops that enable process reimagination; programme execution advisory to co-create adoption roadmaps, establish governance structures, frame procurement requirements, and engage ecosystem actors (academic, civil society and market); and provide technical support as needed. Across these efforts, embed safeguard principles into capacity building and any roadmaps that are designed.

Documenting and sharing DPI implementation practices

Document best practices and sectoral implementations, including institutional context, design choices, mitigation measures and outcomes; and disseminate through case studies, workshops, webinars and direct government outreach.
