User-centered design starts with getting to know the people you are
designing for through conversation, observation and co-creation.
Well-designed initiatives and digital tools consider
the particular structures and needs that exist in each country, region and community.
Achieving scale requires adoption beyond an initiative’s pilot population
and often necessitates securing funding or partners that take the initiative to new
communities or regions.
Building sustainable programs, platforms and digital tools is
essential to maintain user and stakeholder support, as well as to maximize long-term
impact
When an initiative is data driven, quality information is available to the
right people when they need it, and they are using those data to take action.
Use Open Standards, Open Data, Open Source, and Open Innovation: An open approach
to digital development can help to increase collaboration in the digital development
community and avoid duplicating work that has already been done.
Reusing and improving is about taking the work of the global
development community further than any organization or program can do alone.
Addressing privacy and security in digital development
involves careful consideration of which data are collected and how data are acquired, used,
stored and shared.
Being collaborative means sharing information, insights, strategies and
resources across projects, organizations and sectors, leading to increased efficiency and
impact.
