This is helpful. It appears none of these countries have incorporated OSS as part of their IT strategy, as has been done in France for example: https://www.numerique.gouv.fr/publications/politique-logiciel-libre/ (en Français) https://disic.github.io/politique-de-contribution-open-source/pratique.en.ht...

Dear colleagues,

It's my pleasure to let you know that the research report "Open Source Software in India, Kenya, Egypt, and Mexico" is now available to download (for free!) in English. You can find the download link on the dedicated research page <https://socialimpact.github.com/insights/oss-india-kenya-egypt-mexico/>. It is a report by the Tech for Social Good/GitHub Inc, Social Impact Team.

I am forwarding this as a member of the MERL Center - http://www.merlcenter.org/ <http://www.merlcenter.org/>, a contributor to the study and as a reviewer of the report. 😎

There is also a post out on the GitHub blog about the paper! See here: https://github.blog/2022-09-08-research-open-source-software-in-india-kenya-... <https://github.blog/2022-09-08-research-open-source-software-in-india-kenya-egypt-and-mexico/>
