CMS, Somalia

The problem

Currently, multiple government websites provide an inconsistent user experience when accessing information about government services. Somalia wanted a one-stop-shop for citizens to access all digital government services in one place allowing its users to navigate to service information sheets in a user-friendly, easy-to-understand, and consistent manner.

GovStack approach

  • Perform a digital readiness assessment

  • Identify priority e-government services based on the country's context and needs.

  • Co-design the digital service based on user needs, journeys, and business life events

  • Identify a DPG/digital product that meets the business requirements of Somalia to integrate it with the national tech stack of Somalia

  • Train the Djibouti digital team on GovStack Building Block approach.
