Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)

Laying the digital foundations for inclusive public service delivery

Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) refers to the essential digital systems that enable governments and societies to function effectively in the digital age — including digital identity, payment systems, and secure data exchanges. These are not just tools; they are public goods that must be built with trust, accessibility, and equity at their core.

I work with governments, multistakeholder coalitions, and civil society to conceptualize, design, and support the governance of DPI systems that are inclusive, interoperable, and rights-respecting. My approach emphasizes transparency, local context, and user empowerment, ensuring that DPI serves as an enabler for service delivery, digital inclusion, and economic participation.

My involvement spans strategic advisory, policy development, awareness-building, and stakeholder coordination — with a particular focus on emerging economies and underserved communities.

Key Activities Include:

  • Advising on the design and governance of digital ID, payments, and data-sharing infrastructure

  • Supporting inclusive DPI policy and regulatory frameworks

  • Facilitating multistakeholder engagement and capacity-building sessions
