AI Services for Government | Advisory, Development & Capacity Building

Digital Transformation

AI systems that strengthen public institutions, enable responsible technology adoption, and accelerate cross-regional collaboration.

What we do

WAIG strengthens public institutions by enabling responsible adoption of AI through capacity building, governance frameworks, and cross-regional collaboration. We focus on ensuring that AI deployment in the public sector is effective, ethical, and aligned with national priorities.

Current Programs & Offerings

Institutional Capacity Building

Structured programmes that equip government institutions with the organisational readiness, technical skills, and governance frameworks needed to adopt, manage, and scale AI systems responsibly - from ministerial leadership to frontline technical teams.

Digital Public Infrastructure

Advisory and implementation support for governments building foundational digital systems - including national data platforms, interoperable registries, digital identity frameworks, and AI-ready data architectures that underpin effective public service delivery.

Cross-Regional Network Building & Knowledge Sharing

Facilitation of South-South and global knowledge exchange networks that connect governments, multilaterals, and civil society organisations - enabling peer learning, joint problem-solving, and the transfer of proven AI implementation models across contexts.

How We Deliver

From Strategy to System: How We Deliver Digital Transformation

Why it matters

The Case for AI-Enabled Digital Transformation

Who we Serve

Only 35% of economies meet GovTech "good practice" thresholds globally, despite the World Bank funding more than 1,560 GovTech activities across 145 countries. (Source: World Bank GovTech Maturity Index, 2025) Source The OECD identifies workforce readiness as the single biggest barrier to responsible AI adoption in public institutions - 70% of countries have used AI to improve internal processes, but only 33% have used it to enhance policy design. (Source: OECD, 2025) Source By 2035, broad AI adoption in the public sector of developing countries can reduce federal deficits by up to 22%, increase public administration productivity by up to 3%, and boost national GDP by up to 4%.
