About the DCI
The Digital Convergence Initiative (DCI) is a joint effort by USP2030 members, governments, development partners, civil society organizations and private companies to support the digital transformation of social protection systems.
Launched in 2021, the DCI:
- Facilitates knowledge sharing on digital social protection systems at a global level
- Builds consensus on technical standards to enable data exchange between digital systems in the social protection delivery chain and with external digital databases
- Supports countries in their digital transformation journeys
The DCI receives funding from the European Commission and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

- improves the efficiency and transparency of social protection program delivery
- enhances social protection outcomes
