“Driving Digital Transformation – Lessons from Seven Developing Countries” (Oxford University Press, 2023) documents and critically assesses how seven developing countries made efforts to kick-start the digital transformation of government and economy. The book provides insight into how outsiders (donors, academics, NGOs…) can play a sensible role in helping governments in this process. In addition, it dives into the bureaucratic and economic challenges of digital reform, offering lessons for policymakers who want to pursue a digital transformation path in their respective countries, opening a window to the real, messy world of policy innovation, dialogue, consensus building, and implementation.
