Data is crucial in policymaking, public service delivery, and development, informing decisions regarding program design, resource allocation, and the evaluation of interventions. Despite its potential, governments and policymakers risk not capturing the full value of data when there are no clearly defined processes and rules for how data is managed within and across institutions. Establishing and implementing a data governance framework can ensure transparency, accountability, and public trust.
