Welcome to the Open Source guideline for Development Cooperation projects. We wish to provide hands-on guidance for designing and planning projects that introduce or adapt existing open source software.

The guide is divided into three main parts:

  • Introduction


    This part provides an overview of the guideline and essential terminology. It also introduces the three cases of open source software use in development cooperation projects.

    Getting started

  • Pre-project IT selection


    This part provides a hands-on checklist for the preproject phase, where the project team is still in the process of defining the project and its requirements.

  • Writing ToRs


    This part provides a checklist for the writing of Terms of Reference (ToRs) for the procurement and operation of open source software.
