What is this stage about?
This entails all steps beginning from evaluating the need for the DPI to creating a roadmap for its development and implementation.
Examples
Constituting bodies and committees to undertake scoping of the proposed DPI
Conducting the scoping assessment for the DPI
Mapping relevant stakeholders
Conducting consultations with relevant stakeholders
Creating a development and implementation plan
Outlining base technical requirements
Identifying foundational governance principles
Identifying foundational governance principles
Evaluating needs for the enactment of laws and introducing policies
Finalising budgets and funding avenue

PRINCIPLE 1: Build for inclusion, accessibility, and equity
Operational Guidelines
Codify integration of technology with offline architectures and processes
P1.T1/O
This involves building the infrastructure to provide for the integration of digital systems with traditional infrastructures by designing frameworks that leverage pre-existing offline architectures. This can also take the form of network policies to mandate alternate access points to the services that the digital system provides, or guiding strategy documents for the DPI to be built for easier access and meaningful engagement.
Rationale
The growing digital divide with the lack of basic digital literacy causes barriers to access, particularly for low-income and marginalised communities. Both system design and codification of operational policies around DPI need to account for these barriers to solve inclusive and equitable access to critical public infrastructure in the digital era.
Practice
India:
ABDM: Allows for an assisted mode and offline mode for the creation of Health ID and Digital Personal Health Records.
Estonia:
X-Tee: Estonia’s digital identity regime has the provision for users to hold a physical ID card.

Technical Standard
Promote openness in technology architecture
P3.T2/T
This implies open protocols around the procedures for data exchange and interoperability within the DPI which underscore access for different systems, platforms, and services to seamlessly interact and build on top of the infrastructure. It goes hand-in-hand with tech sharing, which involves the sharing of software libraries, development frameworks, application programming interfaces (APIs), or even datasets.
Rationale
By promoting openness and sharing, DPIs can unlock the potential for innovation, enable collaboration among diverse stakeholders, and drive the development of inclusive and impactful digital solutions. Tech-sharing processes encourage open innovation, where ideas and solutions can be refined, combined, and extended for the benefit of all participants.
Practice
India:
Aadhaar: Aadhaar embraces open APIs that allow authorised agencies and service providers to integrate Aadhaar services into their applications and systems seamlessly.
Account Aggregator: Section 9 of the Master Directive mandates a unified set of technical specifications for secure data exchange within the Account Aggregator ecosystem, catering to diverse IT systems under various financial regulators, crafted by ReBIT and accessible online.

Principle 4: Ensure transparency and accountability with appropriate
grievance redressal mechanisms
Law
Establish an independent nodal agency with authority to operate and monitor the DPI ecosystem
P4.T2/L
This entails the establishment of an independent body for overseeing the functioning of the DPI as well as collecting and addressing grievances and feedback from multiple stakeholders.
Rationale
Having an independent nodal agency is logistically significant as it eases the implementation of the DPI by entrusting it to a dedicated body. More importantly, when the powers and functions of the agency are delineated, especially through legislation, user trust is likely to be elevated.
Practice
India:
Aadhaar: The UIDAI finds statutory backing to be the nodal agency for the Aadhar ecosystem.ABDM: The ABDM ecosystem operates with a larger strategy document published by NITI Aayog in 2018, as well as the ABDM strategy overview that provides details on the larger scope of the DPI.
Philippines:
PhylSys: The PhilSys Policy and Coordination Council (PSPCC), chaired by the NEDA Secretary and composed of various government sector members, is tasked with creating the Philippine Identification System's policies.
