Digital Public Goods Alliance

The Digital Public Goods Alliance is a multi-stakeholder initiative co-founded by the Government of Norway, UNICEF, iSPIRT, and the Government of Sierra Leone. The DPGA facilitates the discovery and deployment of open-source technologies, bringing together countries and organisations to create a thriving global ecosystem for digital public goods and helping to achieve the sustainable development goals.

The Digital Public Goods Alliance stewards and maintains the DPG Standard and Registry, advocates for the implementation of DPGs, and convenes expert communities of practice to work on topics like climate change and disinformation. As a members-based alliance, the DPGA brings together creators, implementers, and supporters working towards a shared global vision for digital public goods, and coordinates and mobilises resources in priority areas to facilitate a healthy DPG ecosystem, facilitating growth, sustainability, and impact. The alliance draws support from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad), UNDP, and UNICEF, who ensure adequate staffing and resources.
