Landscape Scan of Digital Public Goods Use in Government

Helping government leaders understand how digital public goods (DPGs) can help them deliver public services and engage citizens.

What do we mean by “Scan of 50 Selected DPGs in Government Use”? In our landscape scan, we profiled 50 DPGs. While the DPG market is far broader than this, we curated this initial list to launch our exploration into the trends and characteristics of the varied solutions available in this growing ecosystem. We started with the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA) Registry for a list of publicly recognized DPGs, making sure to profile DPGs in government use that had enough documented information available for analysis. We also looked beyond the registry to find active DPGs that have documented use cases around the world. We aimed for our initial scan to include a mix, with 80 percent of DPGs recognized by the DPGA Registry and 20 percent that have currently not been profiled.
