Unlocking the Potential of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) : A Region-specific Perspective - A World Bank-IADB Technical Note (English)

24 Sep 2024

Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) first came to wider public attention at a session on the future of digital cooperation during the UN General Assembly in 2022. During 2023, international interest in DPI grew during India's Presidency of the G20. The World Bank defines DPI as foundational and re-usable digital platforms and building blocks such as digital ID, digital payments, and data sharing - that underpin the development and delivery of trusted, digitally-enabled services across the public and private sector. Although India and Estonia are the most often cited country examples of DPI in practice, digital public platforms are also emerging in LAC. This report produced under a joint Memorandum of Understanding between the World Bank Group (WBG) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) aims to help improve digital infrastructure and connectivity to drive stronger results for people living in LAC. Its objective is to highlight the state of the potential for DPI across the LAC region, including understanding policymaker's awareness and acceptance of DPI, and the maturity of DPI building blocks across the region. It aims to connect a long-standing discussion in LAC around effective digital transformation with emerging global DPI discourse, and at the same time the report explores specifically how, and where, DPI manifests in LAC and how it can be helpful in future.
