Digital Public Infrastructure Governance
At this very moment, Digital Public Infrastructure is being actively deployed across the globe. Alongside governments, there is a public-interest ecosystem of stakeholders: CSOs, the media, and legal stakeholders, who play a critical role in shaping its design and deployment. This platform helps you access and learn from other public-interest actors involved in shaping the governance of DPI globally and regionally
Why this, why now?
Public interest actors, especially media organisations, rights advocacy organisations and other civil society organisations (CSOs) play a critical role in the design and deployment of digital public infrastructure. Yet, their pathways to engage with the DPI design process have often been riddled with capacity constraints and a missing enabling environment that engages with their contributions.
Recognizing that the role of these organisations can be catalytic for DPI governance, but is often overlooked, this initiative empowers subject matter experts and network leaders to shape DPI’s design and deployment by investing in the capacity of public-interest actors

Concepts such as interoperability, encryption, unobservability have critical governance tradeoffs in the design of DPI but can be challenging to understand.
