How do you make something as essential — and often overlooked — as urban sanitation work better for everyone? That’s exactly what our upcoming WASH lab webinar, hosted by Dev-Afrique, sets out to explore. Drawing participants from across Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe — including governments, utilities, partners, and funders — the session will showcase how DIGIT FSSM is helping cities strengthen sanitation delivery through data, transparency, and digital public infrastructure. Bringing India’s experience to the table are experts who’ve seen this transformation unfold firsthand. Prasanta Mohapatra, Senior Expert at TSU–MoHUA, Government of India, will share how the DIGIT FSSM helped strengthen and guide FSSM in Odisha. Joining him is Aveek De, Vice President at eGov Foundation, who will talk about how open digital platforms like DIGIT can help governments build resilient sanitation systems that last. Adding ground-level perspective, Shrija S Rao, Program Manager at eGov Foundation, will take us through the realities of implementing digital tools across urban local bodies, the pivotal problems of the FSSM, the challenges, lessons, and small wins that make a big difference. Completing the panel, Abhisek Rout, Senior Program Associate at eGov Foundation, will provide an in-depth demo of the product. Together, they’ll unpack one big question — how do we make sanitation governance smarter, more sustainable, and deeply citizen-centric? Date - 16th Oct’25 Time - 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM IST Link- https://lnkd.in/g-Z97_r6 This is one global conversation you’ll want to be part of. 🌍

Most digital public systems don't last. They launch with fanfare, then quietly fade when funding runs out or political priorities shift. So, what makes digital public infrastructure truly sustainable? Gautham Ravichander from eGov Foundation works with state and central governments in India to understand why some digital infrastructure survives while most doesn't. He focuses on the practical questions: What governance structures actually work? How do you fund these systems beyond pilot programs? What does it take to maintain them over time? At the Symposium on Data for Public Good 2025, he's joining experts from WRI India, COSS, and Samagra Governance to discuss the ground realities of how to build open data ecosystems that last.

Honoured to be featured in the Meet the Innovators series by DPI for People and Planet Innovation Challenge In solid waste, the stakes are immense. Indian cities generate over 62 million tonnes of waste annually, of which nearly 70% is collected but only ~20% is processed safely. The rest often ends up in open dumps, polluting land, air, and water. (Source: UNEP) Through our work over time we’ve learned that - Traceability matters — knowing where every bag of waste goes helps close the loop. - Accountability matters — digital registries and financial systems allow cities to plan and recover value better. - Dignity matters most — for the waste picker, the segregator, the recycler, the trader. Technology must make their lives safer, fairer, and more visible. When waste becomes a story of circularity, health, and dignity, it isn’t just innovation and a challenge to be solved — it’s good for hopefully, this lifetime and beyond. Grateful to the team — Krishnakumar Thiagarajan KK, Aveek De, Suhas Rajaram , and Sudesh Adeppa, PMP® for driving this with passion and purpose. And thank you to Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Co-Develop Gates Foundation, Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure - CDPI , and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for this spotlight. #MeetTheInnovators #WasteToValue #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #ClimateResilience #TogetherItsPossible

Four projects. One open-source platform. Endless impact. ✨ Logicsoft International has been quietly powering some of the most ambitious digital transformations — in India and beyond — using DIGIT DPGs open-source infrastructure. ✨Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS) — reaching 7.5 million food businesses across India, streamlining licensing, audits, and lab testing. On a busy day? It handles 50,000+ interactions and scales to 35,000 users per minute. ✨Quality Management System — for the Food Corporation of India and the Department of Food & Public Distribution. Covering 2,580 depots, it has already analysed 3.74 million+ samples (including 2.85M rice and 880K wheat). ✨BharatGAP — a national-level initiative driving Good Agricultural Practices so Indian farmers can compete globally while consumers get safer, better-quality produce. ✨TradeXchange in Uganda — a single-window gateway for horticulture exporters, bringing traceability from farm to port. Now live in testing and onboarding. Stories like these show why the platform approach works. Open and adaptable, DIGIT doesn’t just solve problems — it empowers others to solve them. With its building blocks, organisations like Logicsoft can drive large-scale impact across sectors and geographies, independently. From food safety to farm exports, these projects show what’s possible when digital public infrastructure meets domain expertise. And the best part? They’re not just transforming systems — they’re shaping futures. 🚀 #DigitalPublicGoods #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #DPGforAll #OpenSourceGovernance #OpenTechForGood #GovernanceWithDPGs #DPGMovement #DPIinAction #DPGInnovation #DPGCommunity

How do ideas in open-source govtech travel across borders? A few days ago, our team had the privilege of addressing the Code4Dev Webinar, hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), this time in partnership with the Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure - CDPI. The audience? Nearly 300+ participants - a vibrant community of open-source govtech champions from governments, multilateral institutions, academia, and tech organisations across the Latin American & Caribbean region. With questions and comments pouring in, the energy in the room showed just how global the appetite for digital public infrastructure and digital public goods has become. For us, it was an opportunity to share the story of eGov and DIGIT: how locally-rooted, open, and adaptable DPI can transform service delivery at scale. And to do it with IDB — an institution we’ve been engaging as they deepen their investments in DPI/DPGs in the LAC region — made it even more meaningful. Huge kudos to Tahera Bharmal, Simrat Swani and Anumita Raj for carrying this conversation with clarity, passion, and stamina (presenting at 3 AM IST is no small feat!). Moments like these remind us why building open, collaborative infrastructure matters — because when ideas cross borders, impact multiplies.

From 550+ teams across 70+ countries… to the Global Top 10. 🚀 Thrilled that eGov Foundation has been selected as one of the top innovators in the DPI for People and Planet Innovation Challenge!  A proud moment showing how open, locally-rooted solutions from India can shine on the world stage. Onwards and upwards! Krishnakumar Thiagarajan |Subhashini Srinivasan | Suhas Rajaram | Aveek De| Sudesh Adeppa, PMP® | Srujana Dadi

What happens when three large-scale health campaigns run at the same time, across different provinces of a country? Chaos? Overlap? Or an opportunity to test resilience? Back in March, Mozambique’s National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) took that leap — rolling out Indoor Residual Spraying, Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention, and Insecticide-Treated Net distribution, all at once, across different regions of the country. The campaigns were powered by a single instance of DIGIT HCM. That meant supervisors could move seamlessly across dashboards, help desks could resolve issues faster, and over 6,000 users experienced a consistent, reliable system. Most importantly, solutions developed for one campaign could quickly be applied to another — reducing delays and strengthening responsiveness on the ground. It wasn’t easy. At the start, the volume of queries was overwhelming. But NMCP rose to the challenge — empowering provincial teams to solve problems locally, easing the burden on central teams, and keeping campaigns running smoothly. This milestone demonstrated not just the scalability and flexibility of DIGIT HCM, but also the ability of partners like NMCP to build internal capacity and confidence to take on future challenges. At eGov, we believe this is what digital public goods are about — strengthening local capability, enabling scale, and helping governments serve their citizens better. 🌍 Ranjani Rajagopalan | Chandar Muthukrishnan | Hervé Muneza | Varun Manhas | Sandra Akura | Shaowni Manna, PMP ® World Health Organization #HCM #eGovHealth #NationalMalariaControl #WorldHealthOrganisation
