Work together across UN teams, partners, and the global community to share ideas and build solutions faster.
Open Projects
Discover, explore, and contribute to UN open source projects that address real-world global challenges.
Innovation & Impact
Drive innovation and create solutions that support the UN mission and Sustainable Development Goals.
Who We Are
Open Source United is the United Nations’ central hub for open source projects and collaboration. We connect UN teams, partners, and the global community to share, discover, and reuse open source solutions that support the UN’s mission worldwide.
Why We Exist
Across the UN, teams are building powerful digital tools, but much of this work is isolated. Open Source United breaks these silos, encourages collaboration, and makes innovation easier to share and reuse. By working together, we deliver solutions that are more transparent, sustainable, and cost-effective.
What We Do
Our platform showcases UN open source projects, provides guidance and resources, and supports collaboration between developers, technologists, and policy teams inside and outside the UN.
Who It's For
This platform is for UN staff, technical teams, governments, NGOs, and anyone interested in open source. We welcome all contributors who want to strengthen collaboration and impact through open, shared solutions.
Join Us
Explore our projects, contribute, and help us build open solutions that make a real impact on global challenges. Together, we can strengthen innovation, collaboration, and transparency across the UN system and beyond.
