The GovTech Maturity Index (GTMI) measures the key aspects of four GovTech focus areas in 198 economies primarily based on the GovTech dataset. For the 2022 GTMI update, the GovTech team launched the Central Government (CG) GTMI online survey on March 3, 2022. With an excellent cooperation from more than 850 officials, 135 countries submitted their survey data to update 40 key GovTech indicators, reflecting the progress in their GovTech initiatives. And for the 63 non-participating economies, the GovTech team initiated remote data collection from the web resources. The initial draft version of the consolidated GTMI dataset together with the remotely collected data have been sent out to the officials for validation, which is expected to be completed by the end of June 2022.
This year, the GovTech team also launched the Sub-National Government (SNG) GTMI online survey (pilot implementation) on March 15, 2022, as the second phase of the 2022 GTMI update. The SNG GTMI survey will complement the first phase (CG GTMI survey) and provide a more comprehensive update on the GovTech maturity in all regions. So far, 77 survey responses from 15 countries were received and 68 SNG entities from 12 countries working their survey responses. The SNG GTMI survey will remain open for data entry until June 30, 2022.
