Digital Public Infrastructures (DPIs) have emerged as the new buzzword in the policy regime, especially after the G20 Summit 2023 where the first multilateral consensus on the DPIs emerged. Since then, multiple stakeholders have stepped in to explore the potential of the DPIs in contributing to the momentum needed to achieve development goals such as the Sustainable Development Goals. In this report, we have attempted to landscape the subject of Digital Public Infrastructures from an analytical lens. We present a comprehensive picture of the discussions across multilateral platforms leading to the concept of Digital Public Infrastructures. Thereafter, we proceed to discuss the available definitions and the nuances related to them complementing it with a survey of DPI experiences from around the world. Our most important effort in this report is the assessment of opportunities and challenges accompanied by recommendations, which we strongly believe can contribute to shaping the discussions on DPIs.
