A platform for government modernization.
Build and modernize digital public services and the systems behind them: step by step, with local delivery capability, and on a foundation designed to grow. Start with one priority. Build for reuse. Prove value. Scale what works.
Start with real government priorities
Modernization starts with a problem worth solving.
The goal is better government: simpler public services, more efficient operations, clearer visibility, and greater capacity to respond as needs change.
Citizen & Business Services
Permits, licenses, requests, complaints, status tracking, and self-service.
Government Operations
Case management, approvals, projects, documents, and IT services.
Regulation & Compliance
Licensing, inspections, monitoring, compliance, and field operations.
Public Programs
Beneficiaries, grants, activities, outcomes, and reporting.
Public Entities & Infrastructure
Ports, utilities, transport authorities, public banks, and development agencies.
Project → Platform → Capability
From individual systems to continuous government modernization.
An ambitious modernization strategy can begin with one concrete priority. In a Living Lab approach, each system is validated with real users and designed for reuse before successful capabilities are scaled.
01 · Project
Modernize one priority.
Build a real service or system that solves a concrete government problem.
- Citizen services
- Licensing
- Case management
- Regulation
- Programs
02 · Platform
Make the next initiative easier.
Reuse technology, integrations, patterns, security, and knowledge instead of starting from zero.
03 · Capability
Modernize continuously.
Bring government, local partners, technology, skills, and shared standards together around a repeatable modernization model.
The GovTech Excellence Hub ↓
Start at any stage. No one has to buy the whole vision on day one.
Local capability
Built with Africa, not simply deployed into Africa.
Build local capacity alongside every system. Plant an App gives government technology teams and African delivery partners greater leverage, so relatively small specialist teams can take ownership of sophisticated government systems and keep evolving them locally.
Become a delivery partner →A remarkably small team can own a remarkably important system.
Multiply that capability across local teams, and government can modernize continuously.
- 01
Closer to the mission
The team building the system stays close to the people and processes it serves.
- 02
Continuous ownership
The same team operates and improves the system, instead of treating every change as a new project.
- 03
Greater local capability
More modernization can be delivered with the specialist talent already available locally.
GovTech Excellence Hub
Institutionalize the capability.
Once multiple initiatives share a common technology and delivery model, government can institutionalize that capability through a GovTech Excellence Hub, the operating model for continuous modernization.
Governance & standards
The Hub ensures every initiative reuses common patterns, interoperability, and security requirements, so modernization doesn't create a new generation of disconnected systems.
Government
Sets priorities and owns outcomes.
Local delivery partners
Design, implement, and operate solutions.
Universities & innovation ecosystem
Develop talent, experimentation, and knowledge.
Plant an App

The shared foundation
Every new initiative starts ahead of the last one.
Plant an App turns the capabilities created for one initiative into a reusable foundation for the next, so government doesn't repeatedly rebuild the same technology, integrations, and delivery patterns.
Shared identity & access
Users, roles, authentication, and security patterns.
Shared data & interoperability
Connections to registries, core systems, databases, and APIs.
Shared process capabilities
Workflows, cases, approvals, rules, and notifications.
Shared service experiences
Forms, portals, and digital interactions for citizens, businesses, and staff.
Shared intelligence
Reporting, analytics, AI, and automation.
Shared governance
Security, auditability, deployment, and operational control.
The first project delivers a system. The next project starts with a foundation.
