2025-06-23 Governance Committee Meeting Notes
This page describes the GovStack 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.
Participants -

Proposal to Strengthen the Country Engagement Management Methodology | @Van Wyk, Jody | The approach proposed by Jody introduces a multidimensional methodology to assess GovStack country adoption in a more comprehensive and structured way. Rather than relying on a single indicator or binary classification, it evaluates eight key dimensions: stakeholder engagement, coordination mechanisms, strategic partnerships, deployment of building blocks, presence of a digital ecosystem, political or institutional commitment, funding availability, and capacity-building efforts. By mapping country progress across these interconnected areas, the tool offers a more nuanced understanding of readiness and maturity. It enables more targeted decision-making, helping to identify strengths, gaps, and priority areas for support. This methodology also facilitates comparative analysis across contexts and allows for consistent progress monitoring over time. |
