e-Government Leadership Centre (eGL), ISS, successfully completed the a2i-eGL-TF Public Administration Programme on Data Driven Decision Making (DDDM), on 28 June 2021. The 36-month program was launched in February 2019 in Dhaka, under the access-to-information (a2i) program, Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications & Information Technology, Bangladesh, and was co-funded by the Temasek Foundation (TF), Singapore. eGL trained over 200 public officers including specialists and leaders on use of data and analytics in making decisions to enhance citizen services, run efficient digital government processes and improve citizen engagement. The participants, in turn, cascaded the knowledge to an additional 320 officers in various ministries and agencies of the Bangladesh Government. This program was envisaged as an important component of Bangladesh’s strategy to achieve sustainable development goals (SDG) in 2030, as well as the Digital Bangladesh vision 2021.

The Chief Guest for the closing ceremony was N M Zeaul Alam PAA, Senior Secretary, Information and Communication Technology Division, and was attended by senior officers from various government agencies, officials from eGL and a2i, key faculty members from eGL, and over 100 public officers from Bangladesh.
