Canada joins the Digital Public Goods Alliance
The Digital Public Goods Alliance is thrilled to welcome The Government of Canada, through the Canadian Digital Service (CDS), as its newest member.As part of its membership, Canada will enable trusted, hands-on interactions between federal departments and DPGA member countries with technically vetted, adoption-ready software, leading to a more efficient pathway to identifying, adopting, and scaling digital public goods for the benefit of all Canadians.Since its launch in 2017, CDS has worked to bring proven and innovative digital approaches and solutions in support of its mandate of improving service delivery and solving common problems within the GC. CDS strives to power government service delivery by providing the common capabilities needed to reliably and securely provide digital services from end to end. CDS platform products, like many of those from international counterparts, are created to function as DPGs and components of the broader Canadian public infrastructure. They are open-source and readily available for reuse across jurisdictions and sectors. CDS products are also interoperable and are underpinned by strong safeguards that enable broad access and incremental collaborative improvement.
