On September 17, 2023, the Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology and UNDP launched an initiative to develop safeguards for digital public infrastructure.
Why the initiative began
Shared digital systems can help deliver public services at scale. The launch addressed the risks of exclusion and harm if countries lack safeguards or the institutions to enforce them. The organizations planned to work with governments, civil society and digital public infrastructure partners ahead of the 2024 Summit of the Future.
