This Track focuses on the topic of building Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) that is trusted, secure, and inclusive. As DPI systems grow increasingly data-intensive, the risks of data misuse and abuse rise, especially with rapid adoption of AI. The event will cover legal, institutional, and technical safeguards necessary to protect sensitive data, foster accountability, and ensure legitimate use. Participants explore practical solutions for governance, oversight, and international cooperation, emphasizing actionable approaches to authorized use, accountability, and redress in African settings.

This session examines how DPI building blocks can accelerate high-impact digital services across sectors. Drawing on African experience, it promotes a “services-first” approach that prioritizes user journeys, adoption incentives, and measurable outcomes over technology deployment alone. Participants will explore practical strategies for selecting priority use cases, driving integration by service providers, and building institutional coordination models that work. The session also introduces key World Bank tools to support service design, use-case prioritization, and impact measurement.

This session grounds the discussion in real-world country implementations of open source digital identity and civil registration systems. Senior officials share their journeys—from early design and procurement decisions to national-scale deployment and operations. Through practical case studies, the session highlights outcomes achieved, challenges encountered, and the institutional and technical choices that shaped each implementation. Particular attention is given to capacity building, national ownership, ecosystem integration, and managing long-term dependencies. Drawing on experiences with platforms such as MOSIP, DHIS2 and OpenCRVS, the discussion moves beyond success narratives to extract replicable lessons for countries at different stages of their journey.

This Track is dedicated to Legal Identity and covers two critical themes. The first focuses on CRVS–ID integration, explored across two sessions (T4-1, T4-2), while the second (T4-3) examines the challenges and solutions related to providing legal identity to refugees and stateless populations.
