📈Funded DaaS pilot overview
Deploy DaaS in your country by competitively applying for Funded Pilots
The DaaS pilot program is a competitive application process where countries can make the case for why they are best suited to quickly implement and scale DPI through the DaaS module in their own countries.
Timelines & Actors in the first wave
The selected countries will be given their DaaS packages as well as supplementary funding for pilot rollouts by June 2024. All pilots will be live on the ground within 90 days after that. The pilots will operate for a period of 90 days after the go-live date, supported by funding for that time period, to help reach its goals efficiently. Post the completion of the funded pilot, the country and DPG can mutually choose to extend the pilot for more time (or another use case), or start the transition to scale.
The Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure and EkStep Foundation are joint convenors of the program
The first cohort is being executed in partnership with CoDevelop Foundation (as a funder) and IIITB/EkStep (as open source DPG owners depending on the product)
The selection process is competitive and only 3-5 selected countries will receive supplementary DaaS specific funding (in a cohort)
Countries will have specific milestones and deliverables to execute as a part of DaaS to unlock each level of funding.

Timeline to launch: Countries can reach out to CDPI to be a part of DaaS pilots at info@cdpi.dev, the support for pilot and funding will be released after intial rounds of conversation and country assessment (~2 months)
The following DaaS playbook has been co-created to provide visibility to all the steps of creating a DaaS cohort for accelerated pilots:
