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.

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.

Law

Require disclosures on appointments and clarity on delegation of authority

P4.T4/L

This entails publishing the criteria for the appointment and delegation of authority, their roles, responsibilities, and the decision-making processes they oversee to provide visibility and prevent undue influence on the governance structure of DPI. This report should include details on the appointment criteria, the process followed, and any conflicts of interest that were appropriately addressed.

Rationale

Establishing definite criteria for appointments and delegation of authority ensures that qualified individuals with the necessary expertise and integrity are entrusted with positions of responsibility concerning the DPI in question. These processes can allow stakeholders to scrutinise the decision-making processes and hold accountable those entrusted with the authority to operate and govern a DPI. 

Practice

India:

ONDC: ONDC publishes an extensive repository of the various committees and councils, and detailed network policies on the roles, processes, and service devolution mechanics on their website.

Brazil:

The role of Brazil’s central bank, Banco Central do Brasil (BCB), towards the supervision and operation of Pix has been laid down on their website.
