Guided by a Scientific Committee, the three research teams shared methodological approaches and data access strategies while building strong networks with government agencies responsible for national DPI implementation.<\/p><p>This partnership aims to create a South-South and North-South community of researchers working on DPI and its developmental impacts, generating high-quality comparative evidence on DPI rollouts and use cases.
