All - I believe that Fineract continues to be an essential building block for financial inclusion, which is cited in the report below from the UN. Fineract is already recognized as a Digital Public Good (DPG) which is supportive of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).
However, I need help in promoting this and managing our application to the DPG Alliance. It is an admin task that requires no coding. Recent ASF newsletter https://news.apache.org/foundation/entry/asf-plus-one-newsletter-february-2025. which mentions... UN Report on Open Source 2024. https://www.un.org/digital-emerging-technologies/sites/www.un.org.techenvoy/files/OPSOs_for_Good_2024_Conference_Report.pdf <https://www.un.org/digital-emerging-technologies/sites/www.un.org.techenvoy/files/OPSOs_for_Good_2024_Conference_Report.pdf> "Why should the global community care about open source for sustainable development and, more narrowly, for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? By sharing source code freely under a license that permits copying, modification and redistribution, users of open source can help reduce disparities in digital maturity through affordable and equitable access to technologies. By lowering barriers to entry, open source promotes collaboration within global communities and fosters technical learning and the development of place-based knowledge. These values are at the core of the sustainable development agenda promoted by the UN." thanks, James
