Overview

Integrating digital public infrastructure (DPI) into emerging economies drives inclusive growth, enhances governance, and fosters innovation. DPI serves as the backbone for efficient public services and private sector development. In many developing nations, the strategic adoption of such infrastructure can bridge socioeconomic divides, empower small businesses, and improve access to healthcare, education, and financial services. However, realizing the full potential of DPI requires addressing challenges in digital literacy, data privacy, and institutional capacity, ensuring technological progress is also equitable and sustainable. Integrating Digital Public Infrastructure in Emerging Economies explores the strategic, socio-economic, and technological implications of DPI in enabling nations to surpass traditional development trajectories, bridge digital divides, and foster resilient digital economies. By examining global case studies, policy frameworks, and architectural designs, it offers a blueprint for future-ready public digital ecosystems. This book covers topics such as digital technology, sustainable development, and blockchain, and is a useful resource for business owners, policymakers, economists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
