The World report “Open data for sustainable development” highlights that open data played a critical role in achieving the SDGs through different types of use in the healthcare sector, financial inclusion, urban planning, and others. It resulted in harnessing economic growth, job creation, efficiency in the public sector, transparency, accountability, citizen participation, and better sharing of information within the Government, among other benefits.
Digital government implementation and digital transformation strategies must prioritise effectiveness and efficiency. The sustainable development goals are often relayed to second-level objectives in the digital transformation strategy. While inclusiveness, social and economic equity, accountability, transparency, and a citizenoriented perspective where everyone is included should be the priority of the Government. The challenges that the public sector has been facing to achieve digital transformation impact the performance of the SDGs and vice versa.
