The Principles for Digital Development (the Principles, or the Digital Principles) are a set of nine guidelines that serve as a compass for those working to promote sustainable and inclusive development in today's complex digital landscape. [1]
Originally developed in 2014, the Principles are officially endorsed by more than 300 organizations, including donors, international organizations, and civil society organizations.
The seed for the Digital Principles began in 2009 when UNICEF launched their Principles for Innovation and Technology Development. [2] A year later, meetings amongst 40 mhealth donors produced the Greentree Principles. A "Principles for Digital Development Working Group" was launched in 2014. [3] [4] The group met nine times throughout the year during which over 500 individuals representing more than 100 organizations took part. Following the Working Group meetings an endorsement campaign began in 2016, led by USAID, and 54 organizations endorsed the new Principles for Digital Development. In 2016, the United Nations Foundation's Digital Impact Alliance became steward of the Principles for Digital Development to help facilitate their adoption. [5]
During the first decade (2014-2024), the Principles widely influenced funder procurement policies and the design and implementation of development programs. In 2024, the Principles were updated in consultation with a diverse set of individuals and organizations.
