Description
From Appropedia:
"Open development refers to several things:
- Open data in international development.
- Open knowledge for aid and international development - which includes the use of open licenses.
- Open standards for knowledge sharing in international development.
Open aid seems to be less widely discussed than open development. The essentials of open aid might include:
- Transparency of aid programs, regarding how money is spent, and the measured outcomes of the project.
- Publishing practices and procedures openly (and under an open license).
- crowdsourcing ideas for solutions to international development challenges, for constructive enhancement of programs and strategic planning
- incentivizing participation from people outside of formal development institutions to make development projects work more effectively
- creating open platforms that enable new actors and those at the base of the pyramid to create feedback loops for donors and other traditional development organizations to strengthen their systems."
