Conducted a three-day training and workshop (from 24 Oct 2024) for the NIUA team, focusing on the techno-functional understanding required for implementing finance and accounts reforms in #urbangovernance as part of a digital transformation initiative. The workshop included in-depth discussions and recommendations on solution approaches for various queries and use cases presented by states during NIUAs proposals for UPYOG adoption. Key use cases examined included integration with Public Financial Management (PFM) systems, State #Treasury systems, and specific scheme systems, such as #MUKTA, to streamline financial system connectivity. The training involved intensive discussions and whiteboard sessions, covering everything from foundational ledger entry concepts to strategic solution approaches. The three-day workshop went beyond foundational accounting concepts, delving into strategies for migrating from cash-based to accrual-based accounting, including Budget definition in the new approach. It covered practical approaches for phased implementation, ensuring a smooth transition that aligns with ongoing digital transformation efforts. Through a combination of interactive sessions and tailored guidance, participants explored best practices to synchronize accounting reforms with digital advancements, promoting a sustainable, future-ready financial system. The NIUA team’s hospitality was truly heartwarming, making the experience special. Thank you NIUA. Forum, I’d be glad to discuss any use cases or solution approaches you might have to address in Municipal Finance.

Thrilled to have been part of the groundbreaking National Consultation on Disability Inclusive Sanitation in India, organized by CREA. This pivotal event brought together a diverse spectrum of stakeholders to address the urgent need for inclusive WASH solutions. We were inspired by the personal stories and experiences shared by participants, shedding light on the systemic challenges faced by disabled and marginalized communities. Together, we explored ideas and innovative strategies to identify and bridge the gap and ensure that basic sanitation needs are met for all. As a #WASH #DPI partner, we at eGov Foundation committed to driving change and creating a more inclusive world. We're exploring ways to integrate disability-inclusive design into our products to make it accessible and ease of service delivery for all, ensuring that everyone has equal access to essential resources Let's work together to build a more equitable and sustainable future for all. A big thank you to @crea for fostering such valuable partnerships. Their dedication to the cause is inspiring. #DisabilityInclusion #WASH #Sanitation #InclusiveDesign #SocialJustice #India #ClimateChange #CommunityEngagement #Universaldesignforall #DPI #Tech4Good

Digital Public Infrastructure promises to transform essential public services, making them more accessible, inclusive, and fostering smoother operations between government departments and stakeholders. An e-governance model exemplifying this success is Odisha's SUJOG platform (Sustainable Urban Services in a Jiffy by Odisha Government). Through SUJOG-FSSM, the platform is including every stakeholder of the sanitation value chain, right from citizens to FSTP operators, to avail and track sanitation services in a timely and efficient manner.

"What works at scale is not the same as scaling what works." This insight stood out during a recent closed-door event where we deep-dived into the future of DPIs. The workshop brought together diverse stakeholders, ranging from government officials and private sector leaders to multilateral organisations and academia. The goal? To break down silos and create honest, forward-looking conversations on how we can ensure that DPIs are sustainable, accessible, and equitable for everyone. Key themes discussed: Day 1: Focused on educating stakeholders new to the #DPI space, highlighting its potential and the role of public service delivery. Day 2: A more targeted discussion on the future of DPI, bringing in voices from those already within the ecosystem to explore funding models, sustainability, and innovation pathways. The event underscored the need to bring together various perspectives—from policy to market players—to chart a path forward for inclusive DPI. As a team, we had the opportunity to share how eGov’s work in public service delivery aligns with these goals, emphasising our commitment to building solutions that can scale equitably. This workshop marked a step forward for us as we continue to expand into new domains, using our digital solutions to empower communities and support public service initiatives across health, governance, and water management. Such collaborative dialogues inspire us to continually innovate, ensuring that the future of DPI is driven by meaningful impact and tangible benefits for communities. #techforgood #sustainability #inclusivity EkStep Foundation | Carnegie India | Pramod Varma | Rudra Chaudhuri | Shankar Maruwada | Gautham Ravichander | Nita Tyagi Vibhor Bansal | Anumita Raj

There is growing evidence that people with disabilities comprise between 5-8% of the Indian population (around 55 – 90 million individuals). Source: Minsitry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, India   Despite existing legal frameworks, many still face significant challenges in accessing safe and inclusive sanitation facilities. This was a core focus of the recent National Consultation on Disability Inclusive Sanitation in India by CREA, which brought together over 70 stakeholders from diverse sectors to address these gaps. eGov had the privilege of joining this conversation to share our insights and explore opportunities to make #WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) systems more inclusive. The discussions shed light on critical areas such as the need for data disaggregation, interoperability across ministries, and accessible infrastructure that aligns with India’s Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act. How can eGov bridge the digital divide and build a more inclusive space? • The importance of universal design principles to make public sanitation spaces accessible. • Creating platforms for grievances and feedback that connect PwDs directly to local authorities. • Leveraging digital tools to empower PwDs and amplify their voices. What’s next for eGov: We’re eager to expand into this new domain, using DIGIT DPG to fortify the #TechforGood space. By designing accessible platforms, enhancing data collection capabilities, and partnering with disability rights organizations, we aim to ensure our solutions drive real change. Together, we would be eager to contribute to systems that aim to reimagine systems that serve everyone with dignity and respect. #SafeSanitationForAll #DigitalInclusion #sdg10 Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) | Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, GOI | NFSSM Alliance Soumya Tiwari | Padma Bhate-Deosthali | Seema Jain | Shrija S Rao | Aanchal Dahima | Abhisek Rout
