Who else attended today's @OECD Development Co-operation Report 2021 launch event on shaping a just #DigitalTransformation?βœ‹

Panelists expanded upon some of the report's key themes, including:

πŸ“… Acting now!
⬆️ More #coordination
πŸ–ΌοΈ Strong #frameworks
πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘ #InclusiveDevelopment
But we also heard a lot about #DigitalPublicGoods (#DPGs). Like... A LOT a lot.

So, what's the connection between #DPGs and a just, #inclusive #DigitalTransformation? Why have so many #donors, national #governments, and #tech experts alike expressed interest in #DPG solutions?
Well, they all agree that #DigitalTransformation is at a tipping point globally, with the divisions between wealthy and developing nations especially stark: 96% of the world's unconnected people live in developing countries.
#Digitalization provides an unprecedented opportunity to deliver critical #government services at societal-scale, #inclusive of all populations. This ⬆️ innovation in the public and private sectors and can, in theory,πŸ”“ data in ways that further fuel innovation and empower people
Despite the critical role of #PoliticalWill in successful #DigitalTransformations (and as seen at the event!), there are four other central factors: #policy, #pricing #procurement, #product, and #people. Image
#Investment and #coordination are needed for all five Ps. A just #DigitalTransformation is complex and costly, and it requires sustained support to see it through. However, many #donors expressed their prioritization of a #solution with great potential for #scale and #adaptation
Enter #DPGs: #Government use of DPGs like #OpenSource #software and #open software #standards can ⏩ closing the #DigitalDivide and advance the #SDGs, all while contributing to a #DigitalEcosystem that empowers people and enables public and private sector #innovation πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ
In order to make the opportunities for improved #health, #education, #ClimateResilience services (and more!) presented by #DigitalTransformation a reality, #governments, #CivilSociety and public and private institutions must prioritize and support #DPGSolutions
However, developing and maintaining the #tech aren't the only steps for #DPGSolutions! ☝️

#Digital #policy, #regulatory, and #legal #frameworks must be established to ensure #tech #investments are grounded in the interest of the people, and should be developed #collaboratively!
This is probably a good time to point out that from 2015-19, #DevelopmentFinance for #Digitalization more than tripled πŸ‘€ not only did the stakeholders at today's event echo the @OECD report's call for urgent global #cooperation on #DPGs; they've been investing in it, too πŸ‘‡ Image
As explained, #DPG adoption is promising but involves A LOT. How can #donors, #CivilSociety, and public + private institutions work together at this pivotal moment to improve their coordination, support #governments, and #LeaveNoOneBehind in the process?
With @DPGAlliance, we're excited to announce the #DigitalPublicGoods Charter, an effort to mobilize high-level stakeholder commitments, #investments, and actions to advance the use of #DPGs by countries to build safe, trusted, and inclusive #DigitalPublicInfrastructure at scale.
This work is meant to improve the outcomes of #DigitalServices for people and societies at large.

It's too big for anyone to do alone: the #DPG Charter process aspires to be #inclusive, with growing input from new stakeholders as it evolves. Meet our current stakeholders! πŸ‘‡ Image
Global #cooperation is required to manage the interconnected risks of a just #DigitalTransformation for all, and the #DPG Charter presents a timely opportunity to bring stakeholders from across sectors together to shape this transformation through the use of #DPGs.
As we heard from diverse stakeholders at today's @OECD event, the time to make concerted, committed efforts and #investments to advance the use of #DPGs is now.

To make technology promises into reality, we must recognize Africa as a continent with 55 countries that are all different. Let's work with them to build what is required rather than serving them with one solution.

.@DIAL_Kate : "We often talk about the technology, but we sometimes forget to talk about the purpose. The purpose is to make people's lives easier and give them access to education, healthcare, agricultural services, and more."

Teki Akuetteh: "Africa is not behind in its use of modern tech. We are faced with the same challenges as the 'developed world', but when you look at our policy and legal frameworks, you see a gap. It calls for collaboration so we can address it.

πŸ”΄ LIVE: @rachelsibande joins @CLEARAA1's Talitha Hlaka, @The_DSD's Dez Jason, and @giz_gmbh #FAIRForward's Mark Irura as they discuss #ResponsibleDataUse for #DataGovernance and #MEL in times of unprecedented volumes of #DigitalData and new #DataLaws πŸ‘‰ crs-org.zoom.us/j/81523617808
Dez Jason kicks things off by sharing @MERLTech's #ResponsibleData in #MonitoringAndEvaluation (#RDiME) #ME and #data life cycles, at every stage of which responsible #DataGovernance is considered key: im-portal.org/help-library/r…
Mark Irura notes the importance of using #data to improve governance but he emphasizes that communities need to know how their data is being used so they can protect their #privacy.

However, choosing not to share your data should NOT prevent you from participating in government!

How the #DigitalDevelopment community thinks about sharing #information, #resources, and #data and partners to advance #DigitalTransformation will be key to creating #impact from our efforts and ensuring country #governments can replicate them to better serve their #citizens.
DIAL thinks about #partnerships in everything it doesβ€”in fact, were founded in 2015 by a partnership of #global #donors seeking to connect incredibly promising #DigitalDevelopment efforts that had failed to achieve #scale.
