The World Bank has a new digital transformation white paper that underlines what it believes digital public infrastructure (DPI) should consist of and sets out core approaches to building DPI. Over the years aspects of what constitutes digital public infrastructure may have been watered down, lost in a haze of buzzwords, or subverted to the extent that some so-called DPI initiatives might be what a Filipino government official recently dubbed “digital pretension.” The new white paper from The World Bank Group (WBG) should be seen in the context of refreshing what DPI should stand for, providing a high-level overview, whilst staking the organization, which has been a crucial driver of global DPI initiatives especially in developing countries, as a key player helping to support DPI programs. It is also a part of The World Bank’s recent mandate to “ move faster and think bigger ” to bring about digital transformation. The Digital Public Infrastructure and Development: A World Bank Group Approach white paper is 79 pages long and provides a framework for understanding and implementing DPI to accelerate “safe and inclusive digital transformation.” The paper provides a common framework and primer on DPI for “high-level considerations” such as those […]

solar power rural computer Decarbonization and energy transition align closely with the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Strategy 2030, which prioritizes addressing climate change , strengthening climate and disaster resilience, and promoting environmental sustainability. Asia and the Pacific are uniquely positioned to drive global climate action, as the region is expected to account for half of the projected global growth in electric power capacity over the next decade. Significant strides have been made in expanding energy access across Asia and the Pacific, with overall electrification reaching 95%. However, disparities persist in the reliability and affordability of energy. While renewable energy capacity is rising rapidly, the region has backslid in decarbonizing energy use and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuel-based energy generation continues to grow at a faster rate than renewable energy deployment. The energy sector remains a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate risks that disproportionately affect the poor and vulnerable. Digital Transformation for the Sustainable Development Goals notes that accelerating climate action will require innovation, particularly through digital solutions. Many developing member countries (DMCs) recognize the potential of digital technologies in climate efforts. Two-thirds of developing nations include technology in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to mitigate […]
