Innovating with Open Source & Digital Public Goods for Social Impact
We design, build, and scale Digital Public Goods (DPGs) and Open Source technologies that power digital transformation, strengthen public service delivery, and accelerate sustainable development.
We build, maintain and scale Digital Public Goods and Open Source solutions for Government, Development and Enterprise Use
Building inclusive digital solutions for governments and communities across Africa.
OpenDigital Labs is a technology and innovation lab dedicated to advancing open source solutions and Digital Public Goods (DPGs) that solve Africa’s most pressing challenges.
We bring together a multidisciplinary team of developers, engineers, researchers, designers, and policy experts to co-create and implement scalable digital solutions for governments, enterprises, NGOs, and development partners.
Our work is grounded in the Principles for Digital Development and Digital Public Goods Standards, ensuring inclusivity, interoperability, sustainability, and impact.
Our Areas of Focus
Build with Open Source
We design and customize/localize Open Source and Digital Public Goods (DPGs) to power inclusive digital transformation. From concept to deployment, we help governments, enterprises, and NGOs build solutions that last.
Scale for Impact
Our expertise ensures your solutions don’t stop at pilot stage. We support system integration, interoperability, and cloud hosting to take projects from local to national scale.
We make digital solutions sustainable, scalable, and impactful.
Empower Through Knowledge
Beyond technology, we build capacity. We provide training, research, and technical guidance so teams, organizations, and countries can own and grow their digital ecosystems. We enable local ownership and long-term success.
“We support governments and countries to design, implement, and maintain Digital Public Goods (DPGs), Digital Public Infrastructure (DPIs), ICT4D initiatives, and open source digital solutions. Guided by the Principles for Digital Development (PDD), we co-create innovative digital solutions that drive digital inclusion, strengthen service delivery, and accelerate sustainable development.”
