Enhancing Data Sharing Practices Between Government Agencies

In today’s fast-paced world, access to accurate and timely data is crucial for effective governance and decision-making. Policymakers often struggle to access the data they need to make informed decisions and serve the public effectively. The problem lies not in the lack of available data but in its inaccessibility. Unfortunately, many government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) in African countries face challenges when it comes to sharing and integrating data. This lack of data interoperability hampers collaboration, slows down processes, and prevents the delivery of efficient public services.
