Data Management and Analysis
Overview
The Data Management and Analysis Vertical primarily deals with issues relating to streamlining data usage for public policy. One of its key initiatives is the National Data and Analytics Platform (NDAP) which aims to democratize access to public government data by making data accessible, interoperable, interactive, and available on a user- friendly platform. It hosts datasets from various government agencies, presents them coherently, and provides tools for analytics and visualization.

  • Data management and integration on NDAP including development of data collection strategies and coordination with Ministries; monitoring Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of NDAP; product strategy and roadmap for furthering the evolution of NDAP.
  • Formulation of policy papers and strategy documents in collaboration with experts from the Government, academia and industry, and conducting seminars and workshops on data management and use in policy making.
