Charter for Digital Public Goods
A burgeoning trend is employing digital public goods to enhance government services and promote innovation. With the goal of empowering individuals and enhancing society as a whole, our effort aims to enhance the results of investments in digital public infrastructure. Any one person cannot handle this on their own.
An inclusive, resilient, and successful society is built on carefully established digital public infrastructure.
The argument for developing digital rails with an emphasis on inclusion, safety, and equality has been strengthened by the COVID-19 epidemic.
Vision
The Digital Public Goods Charter (DPG Charter) will promote the use of digital public goods by mobilising high level stakeholder commitments, investments, and actions. It will also enable countries to build safe, dependable, and inclusive digital public infrastructure at scale, improving people's outcomes.
Objective
The DPG Charter shows a nation's dedication to increasing the usage of digital public goods as it scales up the construction of inclusive, dependable, and secure digital public infrastructure. When properly implemented, digitization enables public administrations and the business sector to create and disseminate solutions to pressing global problems like famine, pandemics, and climate change. The DPG Charter provides a chance to demonstrate how the public and private sectors, as well as the United Nations, can collaborate to help nations employ technology more quickly to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Approach
To aid public and private sector decision-makers create, execute, and institutionalise policy solutions, we provide our expertise. Our approach centres on the values of openness, honesty, creativity, safety, and confidentiality as we work to build a more equitable society.
Our approach involves three major components:
Transdisciplinary Networks
We have built trustworthy and respected networks in academia, industry, government, civil society, and, most importantly, in ICT communities, because we believe in the work of the ICT community. Our objective is to promote communication and research across organisations so that gaps may be identified, and effective innovations can be introduced to accelerate digital transformation locally and globally, enabling global smart governance.
Consolidation and execution support:
We are aware that policy change alone has little effect due to the inherent "capacity limits" in most developing economies. We thus place an emphasis on application in an effort to bridge the gap between "ideation" and "implementation." This not only ensures the longevity and sustainability of government programs, but also their eventual institutionalisation.We work to integrate locally generated digital assets with other tech support firms, breaking down barriers within the community and making them useful by others to build upon existing infrastructure. Connecting our digital assets with those from other areas and bringing experts from various sectors under one roof to handle the rapid transformation happening under 4IR are two ways we want to improve the long-term viability or sustainability of digital goods while also contributing to global smart governance.In addition, Co-Solution supports the creation of digital public goods and aims to effectively contribute to DPG-related initiatives.
Effective Communications:
Communication is the most important part of our strategy. It is crucial to keep stakeholders, both internally and externally, informed to successfully navigate any change. The most important goal of our communication is to bring our networks together through in-person and online events and make it simple for individuals to communicate with one another. We understand the necessity of listening to and responding to the needs of a broad array of stakeholders to formulate effective policies and inspiring innovations.
Charter for Digital Public Goods
The DPG Charter is a multi-stakeholder initiative that aims to bring together and mobilise various stakeholders and initiatives around a compelling shared vision for digital public goods (DPGs) and their function in advancing a safe, dependable, and inclusive digital public infrastructure at scale by 2030.
The DPG Charter is an organised initiative that mobilises high level stakeholder commitments, investments, and activities to guarantee:
- Knowledge infrastructure connects data sets and educational materials in an accessible or authorised manner;
- Interoperability between separate databases is made possible by data exchange infrastructure.
- To provide geospatially enabled diagnostics and service delivery options, mapping infrastructure crosses with data exchange platforms.
- The ability of a nation to develop, test, deploy, manage, and administer digital public goods that best meet its infrastructure demands.
- The legislative, regulatory, and policy frameworks necessary to guarantee that personal information is secure, shielded from unauthorised use, and that everyone has an equal opportunity to profit from digitalization.
- Adequate and long-term support, as well as funding structures that let DPGs produce dependable, top-notch digital solutions that meet national demands.
- Thriving business ecosystem of suppliers and services that enables scaled-up quick installations and integrations.
- Thriving software communities that promote goods and contribute code.
