This is the second e-Learning course of the World Bank’s GovTech Academy program that was launched in 2020 to assist the World Bank staff and client countries working on digital transformation in the public sector through knowledge sharing and learning activities. 

The first GovTech course “GovTech: Fundamentals and Key Concepts” was launched in November 2021 to introduce the GovTech concepts, focus areas, solutions, GovTech Maturity Index (GTMI), and good practices, and assists practitioners in the design of new digital transformation projects.

The "Trends in GovTech Solutions for Public Financial Management" course explores the role of digital technology in the modernization and enhancement of Public Financial Management (PFM) systems, and the associated risks, challenges, and opportunities with a focus on fragile and low-income countries. It also looks at the innovative GovTech solutions and trends for budgeting, tax administration, public procurement, and financial fraud detection.
