A Digital Public Good for Social Protection
DPGs are open-source software, open data, open AI systems, and open content collections that adhere to privacy and other applicable best practices, do no harm by design and are of high relevance for attainment of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). DPGs may also be implemented as part of a country’s Digital Public Infrastructure. Along with other DPGs, OpenSPP is listed in the digital public goods registry
