The Octoverse 2022 report by GitHub explores the role of open source software (OSS) in the social sector, focusing on its potential to improve outcomes for global communities, especially during crises. GitHub's Social Impact, Tech for Social Good team highlights the ability of OSS to reduce redundancy and foster inclusive development, as exemplified by their collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) to establish the first Open Source Program Office (OSPO) in the UN system. This initiative aims to enhance WHO's software development processes and promote the use of OSS tools like DHIS2, which has been instrumental in COVID-19 response efforts across 69 countries. The report underscores the socioeconomic benefits of OSS in low- and middle-income countries and its potential to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by making digital public goods more accessible. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of developing tools to enhance the discoverability of digital public goods on GitHub and highlights the increasing investment in open source program offices by companies, alongside shifts in governmental policies and the need for improved supply chain security in open source technologies.
