As global economies undergo rapid digitization, Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has emerged as a foundational driver of inclusive growth. Its core elements—digital identity, interoperable payments, and trusted data exchanges—enable governments, markets, and communities to co-create innovative solutions at scale. This program enables universal access to finance, healthcare, and social protection, efficient public service delivery, MSME digitalization and market access, and data-driven development and policy innovation. Inspired by leading models such as India Stack, Singpass, Pix, and GovTech ecosystems, this domain equips learners to design, govern, and analyze DPI initiatives. They develop competencies in system architecture, digital payments design, consent-based data governance, privacy engineering, cybersecurity, AI-driven digital analytics, and institutional capacity building. Learners gain hands-on grounding in DPI frameworks and interoperability, social registry and service-delivery platforms, open networks for commerce, health, and logistics, cross-border DPI, and SME onboarding and inclusive growth analytics.
