Each year the Edge of Government Award is announced at the World Government Summit. The award aims to identify and acknowledge outstanding examples of government innovation from across the globe.

Categories

One category and one winner

Three criteria are used to evaluate each case study of government innovation:

• Novelty: considers how significant a departure from current approaches a new solution is, and the extent to which a government innovation relies on new models, new processes, new technology, and new participants to provide its impact
• Replicability: involves two distinct dimensions: replicability of the problem being addressed (how wide spread is the problem globally), and replicability of the solution (how practical is it to adapt the solution to other countries and geographies)
• Impact: considers the scope and severity of the public problem being addressed by each government innovation, and the extent to which the created solution has improved the circumstances surrounding the problem in question."
