# DPI as a Packaged Solution (DaaS)
In many ways, 2023 was labeled as ‘The Year of DPI’ (at least for those who work in government, the development sector, or tech-policy institutions!). This year, a concept relatively new in terminology but fairly mature in global practice was brought to the forefront as a powerful strategy to accelerate socioeconomic growth. It was able to not only withstand the scrutiny of top bureaucrats, policy leaders, and private entrepreneurs across the globe but also fostered a global consensus on the suggested principles for building DPI - which is a rare feat!
Of course, now that there is consensus on the need to build DPI to accelerate growth and development, it falls on the executors in countries - **how do we build DPI at an accelerated pace to benefit citizens?**
