Abstract

The electronic industry is changing the process of providing services of governments, as well as the way people interact with the government. Countries across the world are establishing Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) - shared systems to support such priority services as identity cheques, online payments, along with data sharing. In this chapter, Empowering Citizens through Code explains how software and digital innovation can be used to help create open, transparent, inclusive systems that can benefit everyone. It further indicates that good public policies are also required to complete this task; technology will not assist in this task. Good policies ensure the safety of the data of people, a tool does not belong to a few individuals and that innovation could be useful. The chapter describes the reasons why laws, open standards, and intergovernmental cooperation can make digital platforms more secure, efficient and scalable.
