Public Service Minister Baboucar Bouy stressed the importance of reliable data for national development at a workshop last Friday. On April 11, he opened the second phase of a data inventory validation event at Ocean Baye Hotel in Bakau. The minister emphasized that data forms the foundation for effective government policies, helping officials make informed decisions when designing programs.
Bouy pointed out that many agencies operate independently without sharing information, which hampers policy implementation. His ministry launched a data inventory exercise involving several key departments as part of its Public Administration Modernization Project. The initiative started with the Education, Research, Science & Technology, and Health ministries and later expanded to include Fisheries, Gender, and Tourism.
The project aims to create a complete catalog of data resources across all sectors, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement. This comprehensive approach should improve data management throughout the government, making services better for citizens. Bouy thanked the UNDP for their support in this effort and acknowledged the consulting team from 2M CORP for their work so far.
