An Overview of World Bank Group Digital Governance and GovTech Projects
Open accessAbstract
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
