== History ==

Originally developed in 2014, the Principles are endorsed by more than 300 organizations, including donors, international organizations, and civil society organizations.

The seed for the Digital Principles began in 2009 when [[UNICEF]] launched their Principles for Innovation and Technology Development.<ref name="unicef">{{cite web|url=https://unicefstories.wordpress.com/principles/|title=Principles for Innovation and Technology in Development &#124; Innovation|last=|first=|date=|website=UNICEF|archive-url=|archive-date=|accessdate=2018-01-31}}</ref> A year later, meetings amongst 40 [[MHealth|mhealth]] donors produced the Greentree Principles. A "Principles for Digital Development Working Group" was launched in 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ict4d-principles|title=ICT4D Principles Working Group Archive Google Groups|last=|first=|date=|website=groups.google.com|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-03-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://digitalprinciples.org/wp-content/uploads/From_Principle_to_Practice_v5.pdf|title=From Principle to Practice: Implementing the Principles for Digital Development.
