The Principles for Digital Development are a set of nine guidelines that were established to promote effective practices in technology-enabled programmes for international development and cooperation.[1] A community of practice around the principles provides a focal point for development practitioners, supporting the sharing knowledge and peer learning.
The Principles go back to the UNICEF Innovations Principles (2009–2010).[2] A "Principles for Digital Development Working Group" was launched in 2014, followed by an endorsement campaign in 2015.[3]
The Principles for Digital Development website states that the Principles are:
- Design with the user
- Understand the existing ecosystem
- Design for scale
- Build for sustainability
- Be data driven
- use open standards, open data, open source, and open innovation
- Reuse and improve
- Address privacy and security
- Be collaborative[1]
