Abstract
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.
