As the country emerges and recovers from the global pandemic, clear opportunities exist for the federal government to use data systems and analytics to develop better policies, improve public services, and promote trust in national systems and institutions. The GovDATAx 2021 conference, hosted by the Data Coalition in partnership with Government Matters Thought Leadership Network, focuses on topics such as the role the U.S. plays in leading data modernization, aligning data needs to improve the delivery of benefits and strengthen anti-poverty programs — and, importantly, how data officials in government can adopt simple approaches around data governance and literacy to improve services.
