GovTech: Putting People First

To support countries in adopting sound practices and solutions in GovTech, and to ensure a broad global partnership for effective exchange and transfer of knowledge and good practice, the GovTech Global Partnership (GTGP) was first established by the World Bank's Governance Global Practice partnership with the Government of Switzerland, Austria, and Korea in 2019. The GTGP is a multi-stakeholder initiative that includes advanced and aspiring GovTech countries, development partners, private sector, academia, civil society, and others involved in the GovTech domain.

The GovTech Global Partnership supports beneficiary countries through a range of activities and works in three components:

1.  Analytical and Thought Leadership. The partnership is advancing the development of new knowledge, policy guidance and good practice examples.

2.  Global Public Goods and Convening. This work program includes a range of capacity building and knowledge exchanges such as the GovTech Maturity Index, the development of handbooks and toolkits, self-paced online learning courses, and regular knowledge sharing events.  

3.  Country and Regional Engagement. The Partnership supports client countries with technical advisory work such as assessments, strategies, capacity building as well as developing, piloting and implementing GovTech solutions.
