Specifications for Building Blocks
We work with governments to identify the real-life scenarios for digital services –called
use cases – that benefit their citizens. Our specifications define the key technology components – called
Building Blocks – needed to build those services. A building block refers to software code, platforms, and applications that are interoperable, provide a basic digital service at scale, and can be reused for multiple use cases and contexts. Through expert groups, GovStack supports the development of functional requirement descriptions for the ICT building blocks necessary for digital administrative services. The list of Building Blocks includes payment, registries, identification and more and are reusable across different services.
Find the full list. Governments use these building blocks to implement digital services across their government ministries, agencies and programs. They can save time and resources by using the Building Blocks approach.
