Governance in DPI Opening Government Data for Transparency and Innovation

Описание: In the digital age, effective governance of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is crucial for enhancing transparency, fostering innovation, and enabling inclusive development. This session explores African perspectives on DPI governance, focusing on the strategies and challenges of opening up government data for public use.

Our expert panellists, Pria Chetty and Krisstina Rao alongside our CEO, Gavin Krugel, who moderated the session shared insights from their experiences and observations in designing, implementing, and regulating DPI in diverse African contexts. They examined how open government data can promote accountability, empower citizens, and stimulate economic growth through digital innovation.

The session also addressed the risks and ethical considerations involved in making government data publicly accessible, such as privacy, data security, and equitable access. By engaging with real-world case studies, this session aimed to spark a dialogue on best practices and explore how African nations can lead in establishing inclusive, transparent, and well-governed DPIs.
Attendees left with a deeper understanding of how to balance openness and governance in digital public infrastructure, and how to create frameworks that support innovation while protecting the public interest.
