Digital Principles Quick Reference Materials
The Digital Principles Quick Reference Materials are high-level one-pagers that provide critical information on common digital development topics. Each document provides a quick overview and context to each topic, their importance in digital development, and which Digital Principles hold particular relevance.
The one-pagers are designed to be displayed at desks or in common work areas as reference points for considering the use of the Digital Principles. We hope that these materials will familiarize practitioners and donors to tangentially relate challenges and considerations in their projects and provide context as to how the Principles can apply.
