Introduction
The Principles of Innovation (earlier on also called Principles for Digital Development) find their roots in the efforts of individuals, development organizations, and donors alike who have called for a more concerted effort by donors and implementing partners to institutionalize lessons learned in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in development projects.

Principles for engaging with plural legal orders
Principles of democracy
The application of these principles without using a Collaborative Planning Methodology is likely to delay delivery of results, as proponents may get stuck in an analysis paralysis anti-pattern.
It is in order to prevent such anti-pattern from occurring in "data driven inclusive discourse and development" initiatives that the wikiworx systematized content commons are being developed. This is explained in initiative management.
The Addis Ababa Action Agenda - #a4a2030 - #pi9 enhanced with a Collaborative Planning Method that is aware of the various levels of scope (at which results must be achieved) can provide a framework for the efficient and effective application of the digital principles.
