📈Funded DaaS Program overview
Deploy DPI in your country by competitively applying for the Funded DaaS Program
The DaaS 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 DPI rollouts by June 2024. The phase one of the DPI roll-out will be launched in 90 days and sustain for another 90 days (making the program duration a total of 180 days) to demonstrate sufficient proof of success. Post the completion of the funded program, the country and DPG can mutually choose to extend it 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 IIITB/EkStep (as open source DPG owners depending on the product)
Countries undergo an assessment process to ensure they are ready to execute a time-bound roll-out for higher chances of success.
