Publication An Overview of World Bank Group Digital Governance and GovTech Projects(Washington, DC, 2022-12)The World Bank Group (WBG) has been financing digital governance (DG) solutions for decades. The construction of the GovTech Maturity Index (GTMI) is based primarily on the WB’s GovTech dataset, which is publicly available through the WBG data catalog. As a part of the 2022 update, the database includes the mapping of investments already presented in seven categories into four GovTech focus areas together with the costs, durations, and outcomes ratings of completed activities to complement key project data extracted from the WBG operations portal. This brief presents an overview of the DG and GovTech investments that support various sector reforms based on the latest extended version of the database so as to assist practitioners in the design of new digital transformation projects. The database and this brief can also help WBG staff involved in digital transformation initiatives when it comes to learning more about relevant investments, reviewing project documents - such as project appraisal documents, Implementation Completion and Results Reports, and Independent Evaluation Group review - and expanding and customizing the dataset for various needs such as operational support, project design, research, monitoring and quality assurance, and training. The database is expected to be updated annually depending on the availability of resources.Publication National Digital Identity and Government Data Sharing in Singapore(Washington, DC, 2022)This case study describes Singpass, Singapore’s national digital identity (NDI), and API Exchange (APEX), the government’s data-sharing platform. It highlights not just how they work but also how they work together. Built by the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech), both products have helped to improve the lives of Singaporeans and residents, and to enable government agencies and businesses to offer better services. This has contributed greatly to Singapore becoming a leading digital government, economy, and society, which are the three pillars of its Smart Nation Initiative.Publication Digital Economy for Latin America and the Caribbean(Washington, DC, 2022-04)The widespread adoption of digital technologies is transforming how individuals, businesses, and governments interact, as well as creating new opportunities for boosting shared prosperity and reducing poverty. Digital technologies are playing an increasingly important role in El Salvador’s economic development and will play an even larger role as the global economy continues to digitize. Digital transformation can help El Salvador address its persistent growth challenges and explore new avenues toward green, resilient, and inclusive development. This report builds on the strategic priorities of the digital agenda (DA) 2020-2030, assesses the state of digital economy development in El Salvador, and provides detailed analysis and policy recommendations to inform the reform agenda in the country. The report provides a comprehensive overview El Salvador’s digital economy development across six foundational elements of a digital economy: digital infrastructure, digital platforms, digital financial services, digital businesses, digital skills, and trust environment. The diagnostic and recommendations are based on analysis of secondary data, structured interviews, surveys, and focus group discussions with key government and private sector stakeholders. The findings of the report are organized in six chapters - each dealing with a pillar of the digital economy. Policy recommendations are presented in the form of sequenced action plans that can inform relevant efforts by national authorities, the private sector, and development partners. The report summarizes the main findings on each digital economy pillar.Publication Greening Public Administration with GovTech - Embracing a Green Digital Transition(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-11-10)Governments are increasingly seeking opportunities to leverage digital technologies to build a greener future. This guidance note provides useful advice to policy makers underlining adequate leadership and commitment are crucial to implement coordinated GovTech and Green policies. The climate change impacts of digitalization can provide the benefits of green digital service delivery, paperless administration, and the efficiency of integrated services for a reduction of the carbon footprint. The guidance note will focus on “greening Public Administration through GovTech” defined as GovTech policies, initiatives, and/or solutions that embrace environmental considerations by design, maximizing the green benefits and considering the potential negative impacts, for example through digitalization of government processes. This guidance note is centered around three main topics: (i) the green government process through digital solutions; (ii) greening digital service delivery; and (iii) identifying policy mechanisms to mainstream green digital approaches throughout government systems.Publication Djibouti: Digital Customs Administration Using ASYCUDAWorld(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-02-26)The document collection focuses on the implementation of GovTech solutions in a small country with a strategic location, aiming to improve its customs administration system. The country heavily relies on international trade, particularly as a corridor for neighboring landlocked nations. Despite impressive economic growth, the country faces human development deficits and fragility. The upgrade to the ASYCUDAWorld system, financed by the World Bank, has significantly improved customs clearance processes, making the national investment climate more attractive and advancing the government's goal of comprehensive online service delivery. The overall objective is to enhance access to e-government services and improve government revenue systems.

As health systems face increasing demands to deliver new, more, better, and seamless services affordable to all people, data and technology are essential. With the potential and perils of innovations like artificial intelligence the future of health care is expected to be technology-embedded and data-linked. This shift involves expanding the focus from digitization of health data to integrating digital and health as one: Digital-in-Health. The World Bank’s report, Digital-in-Health: Unlocking the Value for Everyone, calls for a new digital-in-health approach where digital technology and data are infused into every aspect of health systems management and health service delivery for better health outcomes. The report proposes ten recommendations across three priority areas for governments to invest in: prioritize, connect and scale.Publication Classroom Assessment to Support Foundational Literacy(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-03-21)This document focuses primarily on how classroom assessment activities can measure students’ literacy skills as they progress along a learning trajectory towards reading fluently and with comprehension by the end of primary school grades.
