Description
This self-paced training course offers a comprehensive introduction to the Digital Registries Building Block, designed for individuals involved in advancing digital transformation and promoting efficient data management and record-keeping in government services. Focused on the principles of data integrity, accessibility, and scalability, the course highlights the critical role of digital registries in enabling centralized, secure, and structured data storage within digital public infrastructure (DPI).
Through 7 interactive modules, participants explore key concepts, tools, and practical methodologies required to design, implement, and manage the Digital Registries Building Block. The course emphasizes the importance of interoperable registries, data standardization, and identity management, ensuring that participants understand how to create and support cross-government data ecosystems that cater to stakeholders from government, the private sector, and development partners.
Participants will develop essential skills to design and integrate digital registries into cross-government services. By mastering the core principles of the Digital Registries Building Block, participants are empowered to drive data-driven transformation and create transparent, efficient, and people-centric registry systems. This course supports the realization of sustainable, accessible, and trustworthy digital ecosystems, promoting the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to good governance, inclusive service delivery, and accountable public administration.
Policymakers, decision-makers in public and private sectors, digital transformation specialists, IT professionals, innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, academics, and industry professionals seeking to enhance interoperability, secure data exchange, and drive digital public infrastructure development.
No prior knowledge or qualification required. This course is open to all interested digital services.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply interoperability frameworks to design and implement secure, efficient, and standardized data exchange systems.
- Analyze the role of Digital Registries in enhancing digital public infrastructure and supporting whole-of-government approaches.
- Demonstrate proficiency in utilizing tools and methodologies to develop, deploy, and manage Digital Registries Building Blocks.
- Synthesize best practices and case studies to inform decision-making on data exchange and system integration.
- Collaborate effectively with stakeholders to ensure cross-sectoral alignment in the design and implementation of interoperability solutions.
- Design actionable steps to implement and sustain Digital Registries Building Blocks in national, regional, or sectoral digital transformation projects.
The methodology for this course is self-paced and it includes tasks in the form of knowledge checks, case studies, self-study materials, resources, and expert-led video recordings. These components engage participants in practical application, analysis of real-world examples, interactive exercises, reflective practice, and insights from industry experts.
