IIPP Forum 2024 - Building state capacity in the digital age 

The digital era has brought about significant changes in how societies operate, and the expectations placed upon governments to deliver services, policies, and goods effectively and at scale. Paper-based, siloed government infrastructure and associated practices are no longer effective in the 21st century. Moving towards digital-era government implies rethinking how governments operate and what public infrastructure means.
This session explored a new way of thinking about digital transformation: an infrastructural approach. By leveraging IIPP's practice-oriented research on digital public infrastructure (DPI), was discussed:
- What an infrastructural approach looks like and how to develop the state capacity required to build it at scale;
- How to build and govern DPI to maximise public value creation;
- How a DPI approach can support a just green transition;
- A common good approach to digital transformation.
