PRINCIPLE 1: Build for inclusion, accessibility, and equity

Operational Guidelines

Invest in capacity building and awareness initiatives

P1.T2/O

This entails promoting awareness and intuitive designs for users, and training and capacity building of operators of the system. This could take the form of training initiatives and skill development workshops for operators, as well as investments towards awareness campaigns and education initiatives for users.

Rationale

Capacity building ensures that both the users and operators can engage with DPI effectively. To this end, the operators and regulators of the DPI must invest in capacity building as a multipolar process to include institutional, tech and administrative dimensions. This empowers users and operators to engage meaningfully and derive maximum value from the infrastructure, while also allowing for a seamless integration of digital systems.

Practice

India:

UPI: NPCI Circular with recommendations on simplification of user-side flows in apps for easy onboarding

Philippines:

PhilSys: The identity system PhilSys is backed by a law which states that one of its objectives is strengthening financial inclusion and reducing corruption.

Law

Implement notice and consent mechanisms for the collection, use, and sharing of personal data

P2.T1/L

This entails a combination of technological solutions and policy frameworks. Laws must mandate the communication of clear and understandable details on the specific types of data being collected, the intended uses of the data, the duration of data retention, and the entities with whom the data may be shared. This is supplemented by user-friendly interfaces and interfaces to present privacy notices in a clear and accessible manner.

Rationale

The establishment of these mechanisms in DPI empowers individuals with information on how their data is being collected, processed, and shared within the ecosystem, and enables them to exercise them to maintain control over their personal information.

Practice

India:

ABDM: Clause 11.1 of ABDM’s Health Data Management Policy emphasises on a consent-based approach that aligns with existing legal requirements.

Estonia:

X-Tee: The Personal Data Protection Act 2018 is legislation designed to protect individuals' fundamental rights and freedoms concerning the processing of their personal data, with a special emphasis on the right to privacy.

PRINCIPLE 3: Promote collaboration

Policy

Establish codified consultation processes for developments within the DPI

P3.T1/P

These take the form of processes such as public notifications on official websites, open forums, online surveys, or structured consultations with specific stakeholder groups. Codification in this regard fosters a structured approach to gathering input, conducting impact assessments, and incorporating feedback into decision-making.

Rationale

Public notices and proactive consultations throughout the lifecycle of DPI serve as a means to engage the larger community and help create a structured and accountable framework that promotes openness, transparency, and stakeholder inputs on potential concerns with any developments in the system. This ensures that the decision-making process is not confined to a select few.

Practice

India:

ONDC: ONDC holds frequent meetings with network participants that are a part of the user council to discuss crucial policy developments, and publish a summary of proceedings for all meetings.

Estonia:

X-Tee: The Bills Information System (EIS) is a digital platform in Estonia for inter-institutional document coordination, government and parliamentary submission, and public consultations, allowing public tracking of drafts, document searching, and participation in the legislative process.
