About Co-Develop
“Co-Develop catalyses the efforts of countries in their digital transformation journeys, with a focus on leveraging shared digital infrastructure”
Co-Develop is a global non-profit fund helping countries accelerate their digital transformation journeys, by leveraging safe and inclusive shared digital public infrastructure (DPI) at scale. Enabling this digital transformation for 50 countries in the next five years, Co-Develop makes investments to:
· Unlock bottlenecks in the adoption of safe and inclusive shared digital infrastructure by countries
· Learn about the impact of shared infrastructure as countries go through with their digitisation efforts
We operate on the ethos that, together with like-minded partners, we must “co-develop” the foundations for a fairer future.

Digital Public Infrastructure - Evidence Compendium
Digital public infrastructure (DPI) has taken center stage in the global development discourse as a means to enabling a digital future that is inclusive, safe, and equitable. And with good reason. DPI can not only underpin smarter and cost-effective government services, but can enable the wider digital economy, promote innovation and competition, and serve as a tool for widespread trust and inclusion.

The $800 billion Gorrilla
We have heard of the American expression of the 800-pound gorilla… but this note is about the $800 billion dollar gorilla that we will need to contend with and tame.

From Government Solutions to Societal Capabilities
As the DPI debate has evolved over the past couple of years, there continues to be a lack of clarity on what DPI is. There have been several attempts at coming up with a “definition” by various stakeholders, but there is no consensus. Learn more on what needs to be done:
Understanding “Infrastructure Thinking”
At Co-Develop, we understand digital public infrastructure (DPI) to be society-wide, digital capabilities that are essential to participation in society and markets as a citizen, entrepreneur, and consumer in a digital era. Because it is essential, DPI should be guaranteed by public institutions to be 1) inclusive, 2) foundational, 3) interoperable, and 4) publicly accountable, as it is deployed in countries around the world.
DPI is not a technology output. It is services deployed with a specific approach along side strong governance, thoughtful policies, and deep civil society engagement.
Co-Develop recently released a framework for how we understand digital public infrastructure (DPI). If you haven’t had a chance to read it, please take a look. As with all of our work, we welcome your comments and feedback as we co-create this work alongside a dynamic ecosystem of partners.
Envisioning the Future with Co-Develop.
At the heart of Co-Develop’s work is the effort to reclaim the public space, to create infrastructure that makes a level playing field for all, and to support the restoration of dignity and agency to everyone, anywhere in the world.

Unlocking Exponential Impact at Scale.
It’s clearer than ever that the world’s biggest problems are fundamentally connected. Now is the time to build solutions that are just as well connected. Digital public infrastructure is precisely that. Let’s co-develop the foundations for a fairer future!
