    • The ‘Open Source Ecosystem Enabler’ (OSEE) is an initiative established by ITU, UNDP, and EU.
    • OSEE aims to promote digital public services through adoption of open-source technologies.
    • Initiative supports countries in enhancing capacity for open-source technology utilization and fostering inclusive digital systems.

    At the recent Open Source Policy Summit, ITU, UNDP, and EU introduced ‘Open Source Ecosystem Enabler’ to promote digital public services through open-source tech adoption, aiming to enhance capacity and inclusivity in digital systems.

    Introduction of the ‘Open Source Ecosystem Enabler’ initiative

    On February 2, during last month’s Open Source Policy Summit, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with support from the European Union (EU), introduced the ‘Open Source Ecosystem Enabler’ (OSEE).

    This EU-funded initiative builds on the ongoing efforts of ITU and UNDP to bolster digital infrastructures in countries, fostering vibrant local ecosystems.

    Advancing digital public services with open-source technologies

    A recent report by both organizations reveals that digital technology contributes to approximately 70% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets, creating opportunities, forging connections, and fostering partnerships.

    Enhancing the capacity of individuals and governments to effectively utilize open-source technologies is crucial for facilitating both adoption and adaptation to meet national and local requirements. Strengthening technical, institutional, and human capacities in these areas can ensure enduring development impacts.

    Empowering capacity and inclusivity in digital systems

    Despite the benefits of open-source technologies, countries have found them challenging to embrace. Designing digital systems that are inclusive of all demographics, including women, the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those in low-connectivity regions or with varying literacy levels, necessitates broad societal collaboration and deliberate design.

    OSEE aims to empower countries in bolstering open-source ecosystems by offering technical support, practical guidance, frameworks, and training. As part of these endeavors, program offices will be established in countries to establish robust catalysts for socio-economic advancement. The initiative is slated to operate for an initial period of three and a half years.
