The UN Development Programme (UNDP) and other international organizations are growing their influence in the landscape of digital public goods (DPGs), by supporting digital innovations that can be replicated and used by local ecosystems.

This case study is a modified excerpt from a forthcoming Action Research Report on digital public goods by UNDP.
