GovStack

The GovStack Initiative is a partnership between BMZ, the Estonian government, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL). The initiative aims to build a common understanding and technical practice on fundamental reusable and interoperable digital components, which we collectively refer to as Building Blocks. Our effort is expert-driven and community-based, and includes the participation of multiple stakeholders to bring together expertise for strengthening a government's cross-agency architecture view.

Our focus is to enable countries to kickstart their digital transformation journey by adopting, deploying, and scaling digital government services. Through the digital "building blocks" approach, governments can easily create or modify their digital platforms, services, and applications by also simplifying cost, time, and resource requirements.

• Mission: We empower public and private organizations to make the most of the digital world by providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to successfully scale the digitalization of public services. 

• Vision: Everyone can access government services using trusted digital technologies that fit their lives and needs.

• Value proposition: We provide governments with the tools, knowledge, and best practices needed to build digital public services at scale. This helps ensure that their digital infrastructure is cost-effective, efficient, and high-quality. So people everywhere can access the services they need - from health records to identity documents - easily and safely.
