CDPI
Latin America and the Caribbean remains the most unequal region in the world, with fragmented systems limiting service delivery and growth.
CDPI has worked with one in three countries across the region to address these gaps through practical DPI advisory and implementation. Rather than building isolated apps, we focus on interoperable foundations that support multiple use cases.
In Peru , we supported the shift from a standalone digital ID to a broader verifiable credentials ecosystem with multiple wallets, issuers, and verifiers. Citizens can now use digital credentials for services ranging from license renewal to entry at Machu Picchu.
In Trinidad and Tobago , we have implemented a secure data-sharing framework that allows citizens to share credentials digitally, simplifying degree verification, migration permits, and business registration.
In the Dominican Republic , we advised on a whole-of-government DPI strategy, helping build shared payment rails for social assistance, emergency transfers, and microcredit, while strengthening data-sharing systems and business digital identity.
We also support Brazil in expanding verifiable credentials for farmers and other use cases, Mexico in advancing a national health ID, and Jamaica in simplifying tax compliance.
Beyond country-specific advisory, CDPI is actively driving regional integration. We provide strategic support to RedGealc, run technical hackathons to spur local innovation, and advise on the IDLAC initiative to ensure that digital identity standards are harmonized across borders. Our goal is to foster a cohesive regional network where digital solutions in one country can be easily adapted and scaled by its neighbors.
