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.

Scaling up GovStack Country Implementation | ITU | Ambitious approach needed here, for deploying DPGs. How can we industrialise GovStack delivery? Countries such as Nepal, Mauritania, Jordan and a few more have approached ITU, hence scaling up the strategy is quickly needed. PAERA document will be introduced to the Country Engagement team - there will be a dry run on this on 17 June GovStack Get-Together at ESTDEV offices. ESTDEV is willing to take a lead in this. Altogether, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel, rather streamline the strategy as we’re already worikng with UNDP and other global donors. Quick delivery with limited resources and scale up is often sought after instead. |
