2025-04-14 Governace Committee Meeting

This page describes the GovStack Governance Committee meeting notes. We use this meeting page to both run the meeting and keep notes, actions and decisions.

To avoid long meeting where the current status of each report is read out, we ask all participants to read the links below before the meeting, add in any questions they may have and then ask them in the meeting. This will focus the meeting upon the questions, decisions and actions needed for greatest impact.

Launch of the Women in GovTech Challenge
GovStack Workshop Mauritania		Last week, we conducted the workshop in Mauritania with nearly 50 participants from various public entities, under the leadership of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies and Public Administration Transformation. The workshop successfully achieved the objectives we were aiming for. Three digital services were prioritized in addition to those previously addressed. One important highlight was the excellent coordination with the GIZ team, which allowed us to align the content and ensure a well-integrated joint intervention
