fective sharing of public data by:
a)
Implementing priority national public data hubs (persons, establishments, land and assets), based on the unique identifier concept, and develop middleware API’s (standards, processes, policies) to
enable information sharing across MCDAs.
b)
Developing sustainable automation, digitization and document
management programmes for at least 5 priority MCDA’s (e.g. Planning
& Devolution, Interior & Security, Health, KRA, Education, KIPPRA).
Strategy S2: Transform public service by developing an environment
that values data and information sharing culture, streamline governance structures for managing information sharing ( e.g. standards
and procedures, management) through a public sector data sharing
programme.

4.3.1 Setting the Context
Objective O6: Facilitate efficient and effective government services
a)
Data and information sharing culture. Many institutions have
not embraced the value of sharing data and information and instead
end up duplicating records. They operate in silos, creating their own
processes, systems and data centres. All these efforts when considered at a national level, lead to wastage of resources, operational
inefficiencies, and in some instances, to lack of human capacity to
manage and sustain such highly technical infrastructure. As part of
developing the national data hubs, effort will be put to inculcate the
culture of data and information sharing.
‘Strategy S2:

b)
Governance structures for managing shared public data hubs,
data warehouses and data marts. Shared information services will require transformation in the aspects of information management, and
in line with the mandates of the various MCDA’s. In this regard this
strategy will facilitate the creation of an enabling environment for the
management operations associated with information creation, sharing and enabling updates to the public data hubs.
Strategy S1: Develop and institutionalize an integrated public data
and information sharing infrastructure. The Government will focus on
continuous improvement and enhancements towards efficient and ef-
