India has launched 2 new initiatives - Global DPI Repository and Social Impact Fund, to advance Digital Public Infrastructure in Global South.

Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is a set of shared digital systems to deliver and provide equitable access to public and / or private services to drive development, inclusion, innovation and respect human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Global DPI Repository (GDPIR) – A virtual repository of DPI, voluntarily shared by G20 members and beyond.

Aim - To bridge the knowledge gap in the choices and methodologies required for the design, construction, deployment, and governance of DPIs.
To showcase the information in a standardized format by incorporating elements such as maturity scales, source codes and governance frameworks.

Currently, the GDPIR features 54 DPIs from 16 countries.

Social Impact Fund (SIF)

It is envisioned as a government led, multistakeholder initiative to fast-track DPI implementation in the global south.

Aim – To offer a platform for all stakeholders to contribute to this fund and help accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) through DPIs.
To provide upstream technical and non-technical assistance to countries in developing DPI systems.

The SIF India has pledged an initial commitment of 25 million USD.
