LA-BORA! gov was the subject of one of the cases in a series of studies by MIT GOV/LAB

LA-BORA! gov, an innovative management laboratory, was the subject of one of the cases in a series of studies by MIT GOV/LAB conducted on how some governments are innovating to make governance more accountable, transparent, and responsive to citizens. 

Below is the list of case studies: 

• Case Study 1: Sierra Leone - Whole-of-government innovation in Sierra Leone: The challenges of user-centered design in government innovation 

• Case Study 2: Kenya - Market and people solutions for access and accountability: The story of eCitizen in Kenya 

• Case Study 3: Kenya - Kenya’s horizontal revenue sharing: Leveraging public participation data for optimal efficiency 

• Case Study 4: Mexico City - Digital government as a vehicle for redesigning public services: The legal and design genesis of Mexico City’s single sign-on system 

• Case Study 5: Brazil - Capturing Innovative Sensations: How a Laboratory in Brazil is Creating Space and Support for Public Servants to Innovate 

• Case Study 6: Cape Verde - Cape Verdean Electoral Reform by NOSi: Navigating Legal Challenges in Digital Governance Innovation 

In the case of LA-BORA! gov, the study highlights the work approach of the so-called Free-LAs and the Mobile Team, terms created by the laboratory to simplify and scale work possibilities in the Public Administration without additional costs. The article shows that network collaboration and the creation of psychologically safe environments can support tackling challenges and improving citizens' lives. The goal of sharing this work is to inspire other government institutions worldwide to bet on the potential of collaborative innovation to transform public service.
