Data

Data are a fundamental resource for designing, implementing and evaluating public policies. Good information management makes it possible to be more efficient, provide better responses and improve the management of public goods.

The State is one of the main data generators in the country. However, the information it collects is fragmented in different agencies and is not exploited to its full potential. In order to make better use of it, data must be considered an asset from which it is possible to extract value. In other words, data must be governed.

What does this mean? Treating information as if it were an object of great value, with specific procedures and policies. Data is worth more when it is connected, when it can be cross-referenced and shared: government data is a public good.

We work to improve state data management, how? We design government policies to centralize, classify and share available information, without losing sight of the security and privacy of individuals. We do data analysis and data science and accompany the development of state capacities in these issues.

The road to evidence-based public policies starts with data.
