Breaking DPI Silos
Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) projects face key challenges. Funding often relies on familiar sources, while agreeing on project scopes and milestones is time-consuming. The use of varied management systems complicates tracking and auditing. Additionally, limited global visibility into other DPI projects prevents valuable knowledge sharing.
Solving these issues could transform the DPI ecosystem. We could maximize the impact of funds, reduce overhead, and focus on project delivery. Better collaboration would save time and resources. By addressing these problems, the DPI community could learn from shared experiences, driving global growth and innovation in the field.
