Digital Public Goods Alliance

The 2024 DPGA Annual Members Meeting in Singapore brought together an inspiring community of people from all over the world to advance digital public goods! With over 75 organisations and dozens of dynamic sessions, the three days highlighted the transformative potential of DPGs in achieving the SDGs—especially when harnessed effectively for DPI, climate action, and AI, which were key areas of focus. A special thanks to our co-hosts, the Government of Singapore and Open Government Products for their leadership and collaboration.

We often hear that the procurement of #OpenSource can be a challenge for many organisations. That’s why we’re excited to share that DPGA member, Inter-American Development Bank, has published a new technical note on improving open-source procurement. This resource, which includes a number of case studies, supports the adoption of open-source solutions within IDB operations and strengthens #DigitalPublicGoods implementation throughout the procurement process.

??“Buy what you need, Own what you buy, Share what you own.” (Cable Green, PhD Creative Commons) This idea caught the attention of the Digital Public Goods Alliance Annual Members Meeting in Singapore ???? last week. It’s a very powerful synthesising phrase that relates directly to #TheTechWeWant vision that we’ve been developing at the Open Knowledge Foundation. If put into practice, it could contribute to our collective efforts to organise an alternative stack of technologies that are more useful, simpler, more durable and focused on solving people’s real problems. Our Tech Lead Patricio Del Boca had a pretty busy week, participating in several panels and workshops. In this blog, find out his impressions and what to expect from the #DigitalPublicGoods world next year. "I am happy to see the spirit of the #Commons on the main stage and at the centre of the conversations" ???? https://lnkd.in/dAVg5-ru

We are thrilled to formally welcome UN Women to the Digital Public Goods Alliance! “Over the past century, we have learnt that the physical infrastructure we build is not gender neutral. As we embark on developing digital public infrastructure, we need to understand how the key components of digital ID, finance and data exchange can deliver real benefits for women and girls in all their diversity, throughout their lives. UN Women will focus on the power of digital public goods and infrastructure to transform the spaces where most women and girls experience justice.” - Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, UN Women Deputy Executive Director for Normative Support, UN System Coordination and Programme Results By joining the DPGA, UN Women is strengthening its commitment to SDG 5 on gender equality, leveraging #DigitalPublicGoods to tackle the gender divide and promote justice for women and girls.
