This co-creation Framework was developed by the IDIA Emerging Technologies Working Group through a consultative process with NGOs, academia, and research institutes. It seeks to build a shared understanding and provide resources for international development actors to adopt inclusive practices of co-creation in the development and deployment of AI/ML solutions.
The Framework is designed to to serve as an educational tool to support decision-making before and during project implementation. As a dynamic guide, feedback, updates and additions are strongly encouraged as users engage with the tool. To read more about the development of the Framework please click here.
