Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly recognized as a crucial enabler of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and digital transformation across the globe. Yet, adoption and contribution remain uneven, with certain regions and actors underrepresented, especially in the global south.

With initiatives such as the UN’s Digital Global Compact and Open Source Principles, there is growing momentum and an opportunity to better understand and measure OSS’s role in digital infrastructure and government strategies. As part of this effort, we are exploring the development of an Open Source Adoption Index, published annually to track adoption trends, highlight successes, and identify challenges faced by UN Member States.

The adoption index will be collaboratively designed through a series of geographically distributed workshops to collect dimensions relevant across various contexts and use cases. In this panel, attendees will be actively engaged, as part of this extensive co-design process, and be urged to provide thoughts and feedback to the panel of representatives from the UN, researchers and stakeholders.
