Lessons from India's National Data and Analytics Platform

NITI Aayog is developing the National Data and Analytics Platform (NDAP) to increase use of Indian government data. NDAP is a user-friendly web platform that aggregates government data in machine-readable formats, and standardizes them to enable analysis across time and geography. NDAP represents an innovation in how government data is disseminated to enable effective use. In this session, we will describe NDAP’s objectives, see how user feedback has been essential to creating the platform, and draw lessons that may be applicable for the creation of similar platforms in other places.
