The Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure (CDPI) has joined as a strategic partner in the Digital Statecraft Academy (DSA) Cambridge Fellowship, a new global programme preparing public sector leaders to navigate the challenges of data, AI, and digital governance.
CDPI partners alongside Data for Policy, the Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy, Cambridge University Press, GovLab, and Microsoft to deliver a 12-month hybrid learning experience that combines a one-week residency at Cambridge with mentorship, peer collaboration, and a capstone project addressing real-world governance challenges.
As part of its partnership, two CDPI team members will serve as guest lecturers and mentors on the programme. Ana Maria Bermudez Country Operations Associate for Latin America and the Caribbean, will guide DSA Fellows through the conceptual and architectural foundations of Digital Public Infrastructure and how it can be adapted across diverse governance, economic, and social environments. Lina Hadboun, who leads Country Operations in West Africa, will bring her expertise in digital public infrastructure, global development, and technology-enabled governance, offering fellows practical insights into building digital systems that serve citizens effectively and equitably.
The programme is open to policymakers, civil servants, digital transformation officers, and other professionals working at the intersection of technology and public service. Fellows will develop skills across four key areas: digital public infrastructure, data-driven policy, algorithmic governance, and government technology.
