C4GT Community Program

What is the C4GT Community Program?

The C4GT Community Program is dedicated to building a sustainable ecosystem around Digital Public Goods (DPGs). C4GT provides a platform where DPG organizations (builders and adopters) can articulate their engineering, product and design problem statements; and engage with a vibrant community of contributors eager to solve these problems. Our goal is to facilitate long-term collaboration and innovation within the fast evolving DPG ecosystem.

The need for a C4GT Community Program

DPG Adoption: Long-term contributors will promote DPGs, expanding their reach and impact.
DPG Sustainability: Contributors can share the maintenance burden, driving long-term DPG support.
Innovation: Contributors bring fresh ideas and collaboration for innovative solutions.
Funding: Need to identify and have new models of funding for DPGs.
Talent Pipeline: With long-term engagement, contributors will be a great pipeline for DPG orgs.
C4GT Community: Contributors can start driving community engagement themselves.

What are the timelines & goals of the Community Program?

Community Program will not have a timeline or end date as compared to DMP.
It will be a running program to enable the goal of building a community.
The goal is to build a community of 25000+ open-source contributors in the DPG ecosystem over the next 3 years.
