Digital Public Infrastructure (GovStack) Kyrgyzstan

The concept of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is relatively new term coined during India’s G20 Presidency in 2023. The DPI refers to the digital systems and services that form the foundational layer upon which a society’s digital economy and public services operate.

The GovStack Initiative was founded by ITU, Estonia, Germany and the Digital Impact Alliance in 2020 aimed to support countries and organizations in building cost-effective and efficient digital public services that are easy to scale, so taht citizens can seamlessly access health records, manage identity documents and utilize other governmental services. The Initiative promotes the use of interoperable, generic and reusable “building blocks” to digitalize any services. To be considered a building block of GovStack, solutions must meet the technical requrements, which primarily focused on Open API, Rest API, and dockerization of modules.

Digital Public Goods refers to open-source software, open data, open AI models, open standards, and open content that adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best practices, do no harm by design, and help attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
