About the report

In a growing number of countries, digital public infrastructure (DPI) quietly underpins everyday life — enabling people to verify their identities, share data securely, make cashless payments, and access government services online. Sitting at the crossroads of daily living and long-term development goals, DPI drives both efficiency and convenience in both areas. Yet, building robust and equitable systems worldwide remains a significant challenge.

This insights brief, produced by Devex, draws on data-driven research from a survey of more than 500 development professionals to examine how they perceive and understand DPI’s role in advancing development outcomes.
