What is this stage about?
This entails actually implementing the DPI and setting up systems to support implementation
Examples
Finalising action plan for rolling out DPI
Designating relevant bodies, committees and nodal agencies for rollout
Engaging CSOs and other relevant stakeholders for rollout
Setting up offline architecture for onboarding
Setting up offline grievance redressal and feedback channels
Conducting capacity building programmes
Circulating SoPs among implementing agencies
Deploying the DPI
Creating and following an implementation check-list

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

Operational Guidelines
Establish diverse expert committees and advisory boards with stakeholder representation
P3.T4/O
This entails the constitution of expert committees with broad stakeholder representation. The governance framework shall strive to safeguard the independence of these committees and include setting clear terms of reference on powers and functions, providing adequate resources and support to enforce.
Rationale
DPIs are complex systems that require expertise from various domains such as technology, policy, economics, social sciences, and ethics. By constituting expert committees, DPI can leverage technical knowledge and valuable perspectives for guidance on critical issues related to the development, operation, and regulation of DPIs. These processes also instil a sense of ownership and accountability in the governance of DPIs.
Practice
India:
ABDM: The ABDM governing board has mandates to include two domain experts from fields such as administrative, insurance, public and private Health care providers, economics, public health, management etc.
Ethiopia:
DAAS: The Digital Agriculture Advisory Services (DAAS) project in Ethiopia is a consortium-led initiative by Digital Green, with the Ministry of Agriculture set to manage the key FarmStack component, aligning with national agricultural strategies.

Policy
Publish DPI vision and strategy documents resulting from expert deliberation
P4.T1/P
This entails publishing DPI vision and strategy documents which serve as guiding frameworks that outline the goals, objectives, and approaches adopted for the development, management, and operation of essential public infrastructure. These documents encapsulate the collective wisdom and expertise of experts involved in their formulation, reflecting the challenges, opportunities, and desired outcomes for DPI.
Rationale
Publication of these vision and strategy documents via websites and other accessible channels provides all stakeholders access to the rationale behind policy decisions and the intended impact of DPI. This helps build public trust and facilitates external oversight and evaluation by independent experts, civil society organisations, or researchers to assess progress, identify gaps or challenges, and provide evidence-based recommendations for improvement.
Practice
India:
ONDC: The ONDC strategy paper provides an overview of the context, principles, and components of the Network. It highlights the benefits of ONDC for different stakeholders in the digital commerce ecosystem and its potential impact. The paper aims to gather input and perspectives to shape the design and principles of ONDC, fostering a collaborative approach towards its development.
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.
