Growing Government Innovation Labs

This report does not offer a “how-to” of innovation techniques — there are plenty of guides out there. Instead, it gives the real story of how government innovation labs develop in regions like ours: organic and people-driven, often operating under the radar until safe to emerge. We share a truthful examination of the twists and turns of seeding, starting up and scaling labs, covering the challenges we faced and our failures, as much as our successes.

UNDP Armenia commissioned FutureGov to evaluate their approach to building innovation into their ways of working.

With input from all these stakeholders, we were able to develop a deep understanding how far the country office has come in recent years, as well as what can be done to further embed innovation in the country office’s approach.
