7. Open Policy Recommendation #1
• Pursue "openness" as an operating principle.
• Partners give consideration to the adoption and use of all nine open
strategies and tactics across all GFSP activities.
It is recommended that GFSP Partners:
– Openly license all GFSP publicly funded deliverables with CC BY 4.0 license (or
CC BY IGO 3.0 if IGO)
– Develop GFSP deliverables in open file formats that are
editable, customizable, and adaptable to local contexts
– Establish a GFSP web site that makes GFSP openly licensed deliverables publicly
available for free.
– Engage GFSP global network and public in use, reuse, and continuous
improvement of openly licensed deliverables.
– Identify resources they currently have that could contribute to GFSP goals if
openly licensed.
– Assess ROI of combining those resources collectively across the partnership and
with the new GFSP deliverables being developed.

8. Open Policy Recommendation #2
• Stimulate innovation in the adoption of open
practices and the creation of new business models
through the use of open competitions within specific
projects or in general.
• Examples
– Grand Challenges for Global Health
– XPRIZE
– HealthDataPalooza

9. Existing Open Building Blocks
• World Bank
– Open Access Policy
– Open Knowledge Repository
– Open Data fund
• GFSP Partner Open Educational Resources

10. Next Steps
• Ensure shared GFSP goal around use of open
• Identify and aggregate current GFSP partner open practices
already in use and their associated outputs
• Work with GFSP partners to define open business models
(including show me the money models)
• Provide workshops and other assistance for implementation of
open practices
• Create a GFSP open competition grand challenge
• Select a GFSP project to pilot large scale use of open
