Police Electronic Crash Records and Analytics: Lessons from a Pilot in Nairobi

Abstract

Governments around the world are leveraging the power of technology in transformative ways to realize the promise of digital government: improving public service delivery, administration, and social value by enhancing how government functions and interacts with its citizens. Yet, most digital government projects in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) underperform. Piloting and learning how best to realize the benefits of information communications technology (ICT) in government functions is crucial for developing strong national strategies for digital transformation. It will help harness ICT solutions' potential for reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as halving mortality on the roads (SDG 3.6), the case discussed in this brief, and improve the availability of high-quality, timely, and disaggregated reliable data (SDG 17.18).
