Summary of Projects

Much of The GovLab’s work involves using technology to connect governments to expertise outside those governments, including among the citizenry and in the private sector. Some of The GovLab’s areas of focus are:

  • Open Data
  • Open government
  • Coaching & Mentorship via The GovLab Academy

The World Bank and The GovLab study the impact of open government in collaboration with partners such as Global Integrity, Results for Development Institute and the Open Government Partnership.
