This collection of documents represents a set of perspectives, experiences, and guidelines on engaging with technology within the [Information and Communications Technology for Development (ICT4D)](https://www.unicef.org/topics/information-and-communication-technology) space. In particular, the work focuses on the benefits and impacts of adopting free and open-source software that is secure and privacy-focused.

They range from open-source, off-the-shelf tools hosted in the cloud to custom-tailored solutions designed for your specific needs. Some partners are responsive, helpful, and actively engaged in the process, while others may be uncooperative or lack the capacity to engage. Some may lack the resources for sustainability, while others might push technology on you with little transparency. We've learned that partners come with diverse configurations and egos, and it's up to you to determine what works best for your situation. {% hint style="info" %} diff --git a/people/foundations.md b/people/foundations.md index c4bfc27..73b7aff 100644 --- a/people/foundations.md +++ b/people/foundations.md @@ -16,6 +16,8 @@ Most relevant for πŸ’­ [Visionaries](../get-started.md#visioning), πŸ”₯ [Advisor * Access a list of threats which can undermine your projects success {% endhint %} +{% embed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUWogU7GkGs" %} + Let's first start with a foundational understanding of who may be involved in Digital Transformation projects, as partnerships with governments, civil society groups, academia, non-governmental organizations, private sector entities, and communities remain central to UNICEF’s approach.

These projects were reviewed to assess their fitness for purpose, readiness for enhancement, maintainability, performance, and security. The technical assessments involved a comprehensive review of the projects' documentation, source code, and deployment environments. Security audits were conducted to uncover vulnerabilities, and penetration testing was performed to assess the systems' resilience against cyberattacks. The assessments also examined the projects' software development practices, including testing procedures and DevSecOps methodologies.
