Development
What is this stage about?
This involves actually developing the technology for the DPI or customising existing technology to suit the context in which the DPI will be implemented
Examples
Evaluating existing platforms for adoption
Inviting tenders for the development of the technology
Evaluating and selecting vendors
Finalising technical requirements
Developing technical architecture
Adapting existing platforms to local context
Enabling integrations with other layers and products
Testing through sandboxes

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.

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.
