GovTech Briefing
for the citizen of the future
GovTech Sri Lanka (Private) Limited was established under the Ministry of Digital Economy to give the state dedicated capability for designing, building and connecting digital public services.
We work inside the machinery of government: with the institution that owns a service, the officers who deliver it, and the people who depend on it. Capability stays with the institution once the work is done.

Select a capability area to see what it covers, what it depends on, and which work sits inside it.
Capability area
Making everyday interactions with government simpler: fewer visits, fewer forms, fewer repeated documents. Work in this area starts with how people experience a service, not with the technology behind it.

03 — How we work
Research with the people who use a service and the officers who deliver it. Map the real journey, including the parts that happen on paper.
Design the service end to end — content, forms, decisions, exceptions — and test it with real users before anything is built.
Build in short cycles with the institution that owns the service, so capability stays inside government after delivery.
Connect the service to the data and platforms it depends on, using agreed standards rather than one-off integrations.
Assess security and privacy before launch, and keep assessing after it. Protect personal data by collecting only what is needed.
Measure how the service performs in use, publish what is learned, and keep improving it. A launch is a start, not an outcome.
04 — Selected work
NoteThe projects below are demonstration records showing structure and metadata. They are not published GovTech Sri Lanka projects.
A structured review of how people complete a small number of high-volume government interactions, from first contact to final outcome, identifying where the process breaks down.
Establishing a common baseline for how government systems exchange information, so a citizen does not have to supply the same document twice.
05 — Measures
Institutions receiving delivery, advisory or technical support.
Services being reviewed, redesigned or connected.
Citizens and businesses using services in scope.
Platforms available for reuse across institutions.
Illustrative data — replace with verified GovTech data. No figure on this page has been published or confirmed by GovTech Sri Lanka.
06 — Principles
Every piece of work begins with how someone experiences a service today, including the steps that happen on paper.
Shared capability is cheaper and safer than repeated one-off builds. Reuse is a design requirement.
Standards, guidance and progress are published. Personal information is collected only where it is needed.
We deliver with institutions, not instead of them, so the ability to run and improve a service remains inside government.
Honest reporting of problems is more useful to the public than announcements about progress.
07 — Working with us
Institutions come to us with a service that is slow, a process that duplicates another, or data that cannot move between systems. We begin by understanding the service as it works today — not by proposing a product.
Delivery, advisory and technical support.
Open procurements and published notices.
Joint programmes and technical assistance.
Published material and press enquiries.

0 open roles10 — News and media
An open session for technology suppliers, integrators and industry bodies on how the programme will be delivered and how organisations can take part.
Institutions and suppliers are invited to comment on the draft baseline for exchanging information between government systems.
Simplicity is not a visual style. It is the removal of steps a person should never have had to take.
A demonstration announcement showing how recruitment notices are published alongside vacancies.
Notices, procurement updates and delivery notes. Demonstration form — nothing is sent.
