Open data policy : la politique de partage des données prend forme | Defimedia

From Google Translate: "The government is working on various programs to make the many data it generates more accessible.This will make it easier for citizens and will offer business opportunities, especially for startups.

The Ministry of Technology, Communication and Innovation is multiplying the workshops to implement an open data policy. In a few weeks, the Ministry organized two conferences on this issue in partnership with stakeholders. The objective is to prepare the framework for the open data policy and a data-sharing policy. The latter is intended for the exchange of information between public sector institutions.

'The vision of the government of a connected country requires a radical transformation in the way the public sector shares its data to support transactions while complying with existing legislation such as the Data Protection Act,' comments Yogida Sawmynaden, Technology, Communication and Innovation. He spoke on Wednesday, June 7, at a workshop at the Hennessy Park Hotel in Ebene.

Enterprise Data Services (EDS), for its part, has developed the InfoHighway software, which allows the sharing of data between different agencies of the State. For example, the Tourism Authority or the National Transport Authority (NTA) can access data from the Registrar General or Civil Registry to develop e-services more quickly."
