EU4Digital launches data governance strategies activity for quality public data
Date: 09/01/24
Recent developments in electronic services, information exchange, use of artificial intelligence and data-driven decision-making across various sectors means that reliable and accessible data are vital. To respond to the growing demand for high-quality and easily accessible public data in the Eastern Partnership region, the EU4Digital Facility kicked off its new data governance strategies activity on 6 December 2023.
The new activity is part of the eTrust and Cross-border Digital Services thematic area of EU4Digital activities. The aim is to build a data governance strategy framework and develop country-specific recommendations for Eastern partner countries’ national strategies in the area of data governance.
During the kick-off meeting, the EU4Digital team presented the new activity plan, scope and goals. Also, initial results from a best practice analysis of EU and global data governance strategies helped set the scene for discussion about the common principles and use-cases outlined in the data governance strategies. During the event, the Eastern partner countries’ representatives from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova shared their insights into the ongoing national initiatives related to data governance.
In the upcoming stages of the new activity area, EU4Digital will focus on designing the data governance strategy framework and initiating a state-of-play analysis of data governance practices in the Eastern partner countries. This will encompass legal, technical and organisational perspectives.
The assessment will form a foundation for identifying gaps and missing components in the data governance area of each Eastern partner country. Based on the findings, country-specific recommendations will be developed to support effective data governance practices. This will enable the Eastern partner countries to navigate data governance challenges in the digital landscape.
