The Data Management Department of the Parliamentary Service of Ghana organized a workshop to review the draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Parliament of Ghana and the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS). The MoU aims to establish a framework for collaboration, enhancing Parliament’s ability to produce and utilize data and statistics.
The Open Data Policy emphasizes the importance of making data accessible to the public for use and redistribution. To support this initiative, the Data Management Department is developing an Interactive User Interface, allowing the public to access, visualize, and download datasets related to parliamentary activities.
A draft Data Sharing Policy has also been developed, outlining the conditions and formats for releasing parliamentary data to users. This policy is aligned with Principles 4 and 5 of the African Charter on Statistics, addressing data accessibility and assurance.
The Data Management Department has expressed gratitude to @ACEPA for laying the groundwork for a working relationship between the Parliament of Ghana and the Ghana Statistical Service. The Department is also thankful to the @Ghana Statistical Service for their support. This effort is a step towards promoting transparency and accountability in Ghana’s governance.
