Accelerating delivery with Digital Public Infrastructure

Digital Public Infrastructure is foundational for inclusive societies.

Built for public benefit, it creates common digital building blocks that accelerate service delivery and economic opportunity.

However, infrastructure investments often fail when they aren't designed around real needs or sustainable outcomes.

At Public Digital, we take an outcome-focused approach to infrastructure. We help global funders maximize sustainable impact and work with country leadership to harness digital opportunities that address their most pressing challenges.

Four thoughts on DPI

Making best use of DPI means taking a pragmatic, internet-era approach to its adoption:

  1. 1

    Ensure that any DPI investment will rapidly solve real problems for real people

  2. 2

    Use multidisciplinary teams, and empower existing teams

  3. 3

    Adopt a test and learn approach to see what works, and to stay in control

  4. 4

    Build institutions and capability that can sustain DPI and govern it for ongoing public benefit

How we can help

Public Digital can help funding organisations design their DPI investments for maximum impact, and understand how DPI and digital approaches broadly can help their existing investments be more successful. 

We can identify what conditions are needed for success and help shape the institutions and teams to deliver them, whether looking at a global level or deeply in a country
