GovTech as defined by the World Bank represents the latest generation of digital government reform and rests on three key principles: 1) universally accessible, user-centric public services; 2) a whole-of-government approach to public sector modernization; and 3) simple, efficient, and transparent government systems. As part of a larger national digital ecosystem, a GovTech-enabled public sector can facilitate improved service delivery and development outcomes as well as equitable private sector-led job creation and economic opportunity.
