Welcome to the EBRD Digital Transformation GitHub!
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was established in 1991 to help build a new, post-Cold War era in Central and Eastern Europe. It has since expanded to other transition economies and gained unique international investor expertise in fostering economic change by investing more than €150 billion in a total of over 6000 projects. EBRD promotes democratic rule and market economy, sound commercial laws and strong institutions, all of which are integral to sustainable economic transition. Through Legal Transition Programme in the Office of the General Counsel, the Bank helps to create investor-friendly, transparent and predictable legal environments in the economies where we invest. The EBRD Legal Transition Programme works with reform-oriented governments and specialises in designing technical cooperation programmes to support regulatory reforms to sustainably transform local economies.
In the area of government commerce and public contracts technical cooperation projects aim to assist national reform leaders with designing modern policies and implementing digital reforms, from policy concepts to evidence-based results measurement. Frequently, a digital transformation of the entire sector or market is required and work on digital transformation is often collaborative and frequently multi-disciplinary. We found very enlightening that digital transformation reforms are more successful when lawyers, policy-makers and data scientists work together and created a lab zone where legal expertise, innovative economic thinking, data enthusiasm and Open Government values can mix easily.
This GitHub website aims to share experiences, problem-solving ideas and digital tools prototyped under the EBRD-funded technical cooperation projects:
