All available resources are divided into categories, which include digital identification, agriculture, payment systems, data exchange health care , and education. These solutions will help governments digitalize all kinds of services.

The project is conceived as a multilateral government-led initiative aimed at accelerating the development of digital public infrastructure in selected regions.

The new organization provides a platform for contributing funds to support low- and middle-income countries. All stakeholders can participate in the initiative, including other governments, international organizations and charitable structures.[1]
