Hype or Hope: Can Missions and GovStack Boost Inclusive Digital Transformation?
The worldwide digital transformation of the public sector presents a challenge for international development cooperation to promote inclusive digitalisation with partners from the Global South. This discussion aims to investigate how mission-driven policy design and digital services can enable this transformation by examining two approaches that drive innovation and digitalisation: Mission-oriented innovation policies (MOIPs) and the digital building block method known as the GovStack approach. The discussion will explore the synergies, potentials, and learnings of both approaches and explore how they can be applied for successful digitalisation.
This event takes place at the Bowl stage, a fishbowl-style session where audience members can join in the discussion based on the topic at hand.
Speakers: Noémie Bürkl, Benjamin Kumpf, Yolanda Martinez, Maksym Shkilov, Stella Deppe
This session is organised in collaboration with GIZ / BMZ.
