Jean Pierre LeJacq - Ten Years of Open Source at UNICEF

2023 SouthEast LinuxFest - In partnership with UNICEF we have developed and maintained Primero (https://www.primero.org/) an open source software platform that helps social services humanitarian and development workers manage protection-related data with tools that facilitate case management incident monitoring and family tracing and reunification. We have over 100 deployment serving over 10K social service providers in some of the most challenging crisis situation such as Ukraine Syria Somalia and others. We will discuss how we encouraged UNICEF to adopt an open source model the challenges we faced and our plans for expanding into the domestic market to provide a stable financial basis for supporting Primero including finding investment partnerships interested in ESG investments.
