Whereas globally Tanzania is placed at 26th position, the country emerged second in Africa and tops the list in the East African Region. The GovTech Maturity Index (GTMI) report, whose study was conducted last year in a total of 198 countries has placed Tanzania at 26th position in the globe, it has climbed from 90th position in 2021 when it was in group B to 26th place and moved to group A.

As part of the GovTech Global Partnership research agenda, the World Bank has placed a focus on measuring GovTech maturity around the world.

These efforts culminated in the first edition of the GTMI launched in 2021. The construction of the GTMI is primarily based on the World Bank’s GovTech Dataset, which is publicly available through the World Bank Data Catalog.
