This complete guide to Integrated Digital Public Infrastructure and Digital Government brings together, in one place, an integrated perspective that is still largely missing in the literature and practice: treating Digital Public Infrastructure and digital government as a single connected reform agenda, rather than two parallel tracks. Designed for governments, practitioners, and development partners, the guide provides a comprehensive and easy-to-follow framework for moving from fragmented digital projects to a coherent Digital State Spine that connects foundational DPI rails, service transformation, governance, safeguards, institutions, law, infrastructure, capacity, and sector outcomes.

The guide draws on and synthesises good practice and guidance from the World Bank, OECD, European Commission, United Nations, UNDP, Universal DPI Safeguards, Digital Public Goods Alliance, Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure, GovStack, and the Principles for Digital Development.

The guide covers core building blocks such as digital identity, trust services, digital payments, interoperability, data exchange, core registries, cloud and connectivity, cybersecurity, data protection, digital inclusion, assisted digital channels, and open standards. It also provides a practical 12-step implementation pathway, a first-100-days agenda, context-specific starting points, sector applications, regional interoperability considerations, and a phased roadmap to help countries build safe, inclusive, trusted, sustainable, and interoperable digital public systems that improve public service delivery, strengthen state capacity, support digital economies, and advance the SDGs.
