Description
Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is emerging as a leading approach for national digital transformation, built on reusable components, interoperable standards, and open architectures that prevent vendor lock-in.
This course equips government implementers and digital practitioners with a "Safeguards-by-Design" framework to build resilient, trust-based systems. Participants will develop the technical, legal, and institutional capabilities required to deploy inclusive Digital ID and secure Data Exchange systems at scale.
Through an intensive capstone, teams work in country simulations to navigate trade-offs between innovation and citizen protection, producing a national DPI strategy covering consent-based architectures, data minimization, and sustainable financing.
By the end, participants will be able to articulate the DPI value proposition, design safeguards, navigate governance, and mobilize investment for implementation.
With the generous funding from the Global Gateway initiative of the European Union, this course is offered for free for selected participants.
