- 20. Recommendations 1. Collaborate (i.e. Tactical Tech etc.), seek advice (i.e. external advisory board) and use existing standards, tools and platforms 2. Design services to be accessible, user-centered and demand- driven 3. Think digital and open by default, but evaluate potential implications (i.e. data protection) 4. Leave room for innovation and experiments (also internally), but don’t mistake development endeavours with a tech startup idea 5. Support your staff, take responsibility on a leadership level and help knowledge to spread (thoughout decentralised structures)

Editor's Notes
- Thanks a lot for the invitation. My name is Julia Manske and I work the stiffing neue verantwortung, a Think Tank based in Berlin where we work on Digital Policies. Before that I used to work with Vodafone, where I was steered different ICT4D projects in the African markets. Currently, I specifically work on issues around data and data governance and data ethics, and was involved in a World Bank project in Latin America around Big Data, in the context of the SDGs. Earlier this year I wrote a analysed digital strategies of governmental donor organizations, that was part of a one year project that we ran at snv around “Digital Rights and Development”, lead by Geraldine de Bastion. Today, I would like to share some of the findings of the this paper.
- Background: What are global trends that we see in development in connection with digitisation? How does digitisation affect the work of development cooperation? What are applications and programmes?
- First of all, it is always important to stress, that also our world has changed entirely due to digitation. We tend to forget this, because much of it seems invisible. But when think about the way we learn, the way we get information, communicate, buy things, do transactions or expect our governments to react to demands, and we compare this to 10 - 15 years ago, things have entirely changed. Of course this is also the case in other regions around the world…
- ARTICLE from the Independent: This became explicitly vivid now during the refugee crisis; It is striking how the European press is surprised that refugees from Syria do carry smartphones; in phone we know see more and more people realising how interconnectedness actually drives refugee movements. That means, here we see and understand the wider implications of a connected world: The majority of the world’s Internet users live in developing countries. out of — the 3.2 billion people who are currently using the Internet by end 2015, 2 billion are from developing countries.1 — 60 percent of the world are not connected to the internet…2
- What has changed? ICT is not new on the development agenda.
- But what we have also seen, since 2011 — like always, it is not just positive… Enthusiasm; Egypt
- But what we have also seen, since 2011 — like always, it is not just positive…
- New actors challenge development actors and also their activities.
- But what we see today, is that it is not about a new “economic field — sector”; but there is a paradigm shift that transforms the field and projects of development cooperation; but it also transforms the way we work and the way we work together with our partners. We see a need to for development cooperations to elaborate digital strategies. Let me share some approaches of organisations that have been very progressive in this field
- „Building on the belief that science, technology, innovation and partnership can accelerate development impact faster, cheaper, and more sustainably“ // Digital and Open by default
- Making business easier — being accesible changing demands from services; it should not be complicated anymore to get information!
- DFID decided that they are doing to encourage their staff to become active on Twitter.
- BMZ / KfW; Tranperancy Portals data driven innovation
- in the area of digitisation, things are moving fast, we don't have the patient anymore, and we also don't have the budget anymore, we don't have to know the answers by our selfs.
- Speaking about collaboration… What have we learned in the last 20 years? New principles and approaches to design projects based on best practice examples in the field of ICT4D; use those standards! for projects on the ground; AND internally
- It’s difficult for everybody but you have an extra responsibility
- development organisations neglected the negative impact their actions could have.. Grindr example
- Collaborate IDRC — SIDA Digital Defender Making all Voices Count Safe Guard Project via Privacy International
- responsible data forum — engine room Tactical Tech Engine Room Protecting Journalists IDRC / Privacy International Still, there is a lack and need for better privacy guidelines…
- assess interests of other donor organisations
- UNHCR used those design principles to understand what are best channels to speed updated and information in the refugee camp for Zaatari; and they used SMS, Social Media, Whatsapp etc. and by that realised which channel is the most appropriate at what time.
- Building up capacity to re-build and restructure the organisation as a platform…. towards digital processing.. delivering services; manage and efficiently exchange information When we look at donor organisations, we see that some are already actively looking at issues around digital development, USAID, DFID, SIDA and Canada in particular. DFID released a digital strategy (driven by Government Digital Service) Internal appraoches, digitization of digital communication, approaches / social media; open by default, digital by default
