Abstract
Data serves many purposes in the
public sector: first as infrastructure that supports
services and enables transactions between diverse
stakeholders in a network, from government to businesses and
to citizens; and second as an evidence base for governance
and decision-making. Most recently, the value of data was
demonstrated through efforts to manage the COVID-19 pandemic
using data to aid in disease contact tracing, provide
information, guide policies, and inform spending of funds.
Public sector and government data sources such as censuses,
national surveys, and administrative data, combined with
data produced by the private sector helping to fill data
gaps, provide timelier and finer-scale assessments of
programs and policies, and serve public policy and
development needs. Businesses can create value from
government data by integrating it with data produced by the
private sector. This highlights the importance of efficient
and effective data sharing, reuse, and interoperability
between different actors to better realize development
objectives. This report describes the key findings on:
leadership on data use and sharing in the government; key
enablers for better public sector data use; key legal,
regulatory, and policy safeguards that facilitate the
trusted use, reuse, and sharing of data in a safe and secure
manner; key stakeholders and their role and responsibilities
in the data governance framework; and a proposed action plan.
