Since we drafted the first sketch of Aam Digital’s app, we have been guided and inspired by the ideas behind the “Digital Principles for Development”. It’s a pleasure to formally endorse these principles now:
- 🌳 Understand the existing ecosystem
- ♻️ Share, reuse and improve
- 🧑🤝🧑 Design with people
- 🌈 Design for inclusion
- 🌞 Build for sustainability
- 📊 Establish people-first data practices
- 🔍 Create open and transparent practices
- 🛡️ Anticipate and mitigate harms
- 🔬 Use evidence to improve outcomes
Aam Digital is an open source, easy-to-use case management software for social sector organizations. We exist to improve the effectiveness, transparency and impact of work at the last mile by social workers, teachers and others. Their positive impact on the people they support always comes first. To really help them in their work, it’s essential for us to work closely with our users and look at the safety, environment and (side) effects of our software.
Aam Digital is committed to implementing the “Digital Principles for Development”, the best practices for tech in international development. As our “industry standard” initiated by players like UNICEF, UNDP, SIDA, WHO and USAID and a community of like-minded innovative ventures, these principles help us do the right thing.
