Developer Resources

The U.S. Agency for International Development is committed to the President's Open Government initiative, upholding the values of transparency, participation, and collaboration in tangible ways that benefit the American people

• Transparency. Government should provide citizens with information about what their government is doing so that government can be held accountable.
• Participation. Government should actively solicit expertise from outside Washington so that it makes policies with the benefit of the best information.
• Collaboration. Government officials should work together with one another and with citizens as part of doing their job of solving national problems.

USAID is working to support innovative applications of development data by the public sector, private sector, donors, partners and beneficiaries. We have built USAID.gov/developer to connect citizen developers with the tools they need to unlock government data to increase transparency, collaboration, and impact.

Software developers, researchers and partners are encouraged to use these resources to build tools to do development differently.
