Country Engagement
- Shukla, Ayush
Govstacks collaboratively works with countries to incorporate a Building Block approach at the following levels:
Institutional governance
ICT policy
Citizen-centric co-design & delivery of government digital services.
How Govstack manages & documents country engagement?
The GovStack Country Engagement:
Activites are tracked using Jira projects for implementation roadmap. The roadmap structure follows the implementation playbook as a generic reference. The actual roadmap is tailored to country context. For example: Since Rwanda has already prioritised services to be digitised, they skip ahead to the mapping of user journeys and identification of user needs for the prioritised services.
Meeting notes (minutes) are maintained and tracked on Confluence pages, and
Artefacts (Presentations, documents, recordings of co-desing sessions) maintained withing GIZ country engagement sharepoint. Once these artefacts are matured and approved to be shared by country, they are included within the GovStack implementation playbook on Gitbook as examples of resources.
Note: All activities and documents managed within country engagement are co-designed with country digital teams. Information is only shared once approved by country.
