As digital public infrastructure (DPI) gains prominence, stakeholders across the ecosystem are working to unpack the current practices, demand, and frameworks around measuring DPI’s impact on people. Our Digital Donors Exchange unpacks the various factors that must be considered when creating impact metrics, as well as potential challenges and collaborative solutions.
Over the past decade, millions of people in Africa have gained access to the internet, with the number of internet users surging by 115% between 2016 and 2021.

This case study outlines the factors that led to the rapid adoption of MOSIP and the lessons that other DPGs can derive from its success.
