This report takes stock of the development of GovTech solutions in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations (FCS), be they characterized by low institutional capacity and/or by active conflict and provides insights on challenges and opportunities for implementing GovTech reforms in such contexts. It is aimed at practitioners and policy makers working in FCS but will also be useful for practitioners working in Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) contexts, at-risk countries, or low-income countries as some similar challenges and opportunities can be present.
- Chapter 1 describes the methodology and provides basic definitions of FCV and GovTech as well as the rationale for the report.
- Chapter 2 provides an overview of GovTech in FCS, based on the analysis of GovTech Maturity Index (G_TMJ) data, and common challenges to GovTech in FCS.
- Chapter 3 analyzes the state of GovTech reforms per pillar in FCS and illustrates these with selected examples.
- Chapter 4 concludes with some recommendations for designing and implementing GovTech projects in these contexts based on the analysis.
