Public-private partnerships (PPPs) may play a critical role in the development of a national digital identity infrastructure around the world. Digital transformation initiatives and the rollout of digital public infrastructure (DPI) in Africa, Europe, and Southeast Asia show a government-led push for a shift to digital services, but involving the private sector might be key to accessing the resources needed to establish a comprehensive DPI.

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are a set of aims for 2030 designed for developing nations to achieve equitable economic, social, and environmental sustainability. While DPI is tied to many of these goals, and SDG 16.9 explicitly sets out to provide a legal digital identity for all, public finance is stretched thin between these objectives, climate change obligations and other serious humanitarian concerns across the Global South and other regions. Public finance alone will likely not be able to fund a robust DPI for the nations that could benefit most from it.

The use of information and communication technology in national economic development has become an important strategy for many governments.

E-government is an application supported by good governance, and implemented through ICT to reach urban- and rural-based citizens, businesses and governments alike. This technology is no longer new and governments of all shapes and colors are trying to find innovative means and methods of applying ICT to service delivery, reduce internal costs and boost national economies, while at the same time utilizing public money for public programs.

"IT-Stab" mit "IT-Direktor", das "IT-Amt" der Bundeswehr und der "Gründungsstab IT-Gesellschaft" stehen bereit: Herkules, die Public-Private-Partnership zwischen Bund und Industrie für die Bundeswehr, steckt aber immer noch in den Vertragsverhandlungen fest. Absurde Forderungen der Ministerialbürokratie und die Komplexität des Auftrags erschweren das Zusammenkommen der Partner. Und nach den Verhandlungen muss das gesamte Paket noch durch Haushalts- und Verteidigungsausschuss sowie durch den Deutschen Bundestag. Ein Fall für Zeitgenossen mit eisernem Nervenkostüm.

A public-private partnership is a cooperative arrangement between public and private sector officials. The public sector encompasses national and sub-national governments and agencies, while the private sector encompasses for-profit corporations as well as non-profit organizations outside the public sector. A partnership between the public and private sectors establishes a formal mechanism for sharing information and resources and undertaking joint action. These partnerships can center on consultative mechanisms for policy formulation, oversight mechanisms for greater accountability, or contractual agreements for providing public services.

Einen Prozessleitfaden für Public Private Partnership (PPP) hat die Initiative D21 zusammen mit der Bertelsmann-Stiftung sowie der Anwaltssozietät Clifford Chance Pünder erstellt. Der Leitfaden enthält eine Fülle konkreter Ratschläge zur Anbahnung und Umsetzung solcher Projekte. PPP ist in der 138-Seiten-Studie definiert als das "partnerschaftliche Zusammenwirken von öffentlicher Hand und Privatwirtschaft mit dem Ziel einer besseren wirtschaftlichen Erfüllung öffentlicher Aufgaben als bisher."
