The Digital Public Goods Alliance is pleased to welcome Co-Develop as its newest member, marking a step forward in advancing safe, inclusive, and interoperable digital public infrastructure (DPI) globally.

Desire Kachenje, Senior Principal – Investments at Co-Develop, announces the organisation’s membership during the DPGA Annual Members Meeting in Brasília, Brazil.
As part of the DPGA’s 2025 Roadmap, Co-Develop will focus on four key work streams:
- Accelerating DPG adoption at country level with targeted support for a variety of solutions including MOSIP, Mojaloop, Mifos, OpenCRVS, OpenFn, OpenSPP, and DIGIT.
- Championing the DPI Safeguards Framework by supporting the development and implementation of comprehensive policy safeguards that address governance, design, deployment, and use of DPI.
- Co-leading the 50-in-5 campaign alongside the Digital Public Goods Alliance by engaging countries, organising peer learning exchanges, and providing support to 50 countries seeking to deploy safe, inclusive, and interoperable DPI by 2028.
- Expanding domain-specific DPG solutions by identifying and supporting DPGs relevant to DPI that address sector-specific challenges in agriculture, climate, and health.
"Digital public goods play a critical role for countries seeking a robust and rapid approach to deploying digital public infrastructure", said Tim Wood, Chief Partnerships Officer at Co-Develop. "By joining the DPGA, we are emphasizing Co-Develop’s commitment to help counties identify pathways to leapfrog traditional development trajectories using proven, open-source technologies."
“Co-Develop’s membership to the DPGA will significantly strengthen the use and understanding of digital public goods for digital public infrastructure. Their co-coordination of the 50-in-5 campaign, deep country engagement, and commitment to safe, inclusive, and interoperable digital public infrastructure directly advances our shared mission to empower governments with DPGs they can trust and adapt to meet their contextual needs.” Liv Marte Nordhaug, CEO, DPGA Secretariat.
