Projet
Mécanisme de soutien au dialogue politique pour L'UE et l'Inde
Digital Public Goods (DPG) Expert
Poste de travail
Description du projet
The overall objective of this project is to contribute to strengthening the quality of EU-India policy dialogue outcomes in line with the EU-India Strategic Partnership (Roadmap 2025), the EU Global Gateway Strategy, the EU-India Trade and Technology Council, bilateral Summit conclusions, and other relevant joint agreements and commitments.
Description de poste
This activity will produce a short feasibility report and roadmap identifying non-biometric DPI/DPG solutions that are deployable in third-country contexts, particularly in Africa, under resource and integration constraints.The study will draw upon the Digital Public Goods Alliance catalogue, India’s DPI models, and the EU’s digital cooperation frameworks. It will map promising open-source tools, assess their suitability for EU–India deployment, and suggest pilot concepts and partnerships.
Activity Objectives
- To comprehensively identify and analyse existing non-biometric digital public goods and infrastructures, with focus on education and health.
- To assess the technical, regulatory, and operational feasibility of these solutions within low-resource, non-biometric contexts, including barriers and enablers to adoption.
- To propose 2–3 practical pilot concepts for EU–India collaboration in third countries, ensuring relevance, impact, and scalability.
- To strengthen the evidence base for trilateral digital initiatives under the Global Gateway and EU–India Digital Partnership frameworks, feeding into future strategic programming.
Activity Expected Outcomes - Mapping and Analysis: A curated shortlist of DPI/DPG solutions that can function without biometric systems and align with EU and Indian digital principles.
- Feasibility Assessment: Understanding of barriers and enablers for such systems in low-resource environments (legal, institutional, and technical).
- Pilot Concepts: 2–3 concise pilot ideas highlighting value-addition, scalability, and partnership potential.
- Strategic Input: Synthesis report and strategic recommendations feeding into the EU–India digital cooperation dialogue, shaping programming for future DPI pilots and trilateral initiatives.
