The connection, integration, and sharing of data among state agencies, particularly data from national databases and large-scale information systems from central to local levels, will help maximize the value of data, improve the quality of public services provided to citizens and businesses with a user-centric approach, and eliminate the need for manual information provision, multiple submissions and travel, as well as avoid duplicative investments and waste. This is also one of the key criteria used by the Ministry of Information and Communications to evaluate the level of digital transformation of ministries, sectors, and localities annually.
