Relevant initiatives

• The Digital Public Goods Registry: Digital public goods that have been successfully reviewed and found to meet the DPG Standard receive a DPG icon and are added to the registry below.

This is to ensure that all solutions comply with the latest version of the DPG Standard.
• The Digital Public Goods Alliance is a multi-stakeholder initiative to accelerate the attainment of the sustainable development goals in low- and middle-income countries by facilitating the discovery, development, use of, and investment in digital public goods.
