Most governments upscaled technological adaptations and integration into public service delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic policy responses globally. This article analyzes the context of open innovation (OI) applications and initiatives that characterized public innovation trends and impacted government agencies' responses to contain different consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in four critical areas: economic recovery strategies, logistics and supply chain, digital health-care partnerships, and collaborations. We show how policy responses increased the uptake and upscaling of OI strategies in Kenya and South Africa. In both countries, government agencies, among other things, upgraded innovative or created online integrated portals for instant data sharing and used knowledge management platforms to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic prevalence in transportation systems and the delivery of vaccines. These enabled effective policy communication and tracing of COVID-19 patients, organizing the population for the vaccination drive, and generating timely data for further action in the four mentioned sectors.

在全球应对新冠疫情的政策措施中，大多数政府都加快了技术应用和整合，将其融入公共服务提供之中。本文分析了开放创新（OI）应用和举措的背景，这些应用和举措构成了公共创新趋势的特征，并影响了政府机构在四个关键领域应对新冠疫情不同后果的措施：经济复苏战略、物流与供应链、数字医疗伙伴关系以及合作。我们展示了政策措施如何在肯尼亚和南非促进了开放创新战略的采用和推广。在这两个国家，政府机构除其他举措外，升级了创新的或创建了在线综合门户以实现即时数据共享，并利用知识管理平台监测交通系统中的新冠疫情流行情况以及疫苗接种情况。这些举措有助于进行有效的政策沟通和追踪新冠患者，组织民众参与疫苗接种活动，并为上述四个部门的进一步行动及时提供数据。
