Bangladesh has embraced data innovation to significantly enhance data-driven decision-making to achieve various national and international development plans. The government prioritizes a data-centric approach focused on human-centric experiences to achieve all goals and milestones.

The National Dashboard is committed to building transparent, accountable, and data-driven governance that is citizen-centric, interconnected, interoperable, integrated, and automated.

It is a central platform that connects all government ministries and divisions and enables the officials of each ministry and division to develop their Dashboard, establishing a data-driven decision-making culture through dynamic analysis and visualization. It facilitates the visualization of data across the government, allowing increased usage of conventional and non-conventional data sources, improved collaboration of data, and informed decision-making to unlock the power of data. This platform offers government officials a user-friendly interface to create customized dashboards for the quick and easy transformation of any datasets into clear visual representations, accessible to officials with varying technical expertise. As a result, all levels of government officials can leverage data-driven insights to foster transparency and accountability toward an interconnected, interoperable, integrated, automated, and citizen-centric government. The National Dashboard initiative extends its benefits in enabling government officials to cultivate stronger leadership on data, data governance, data analytics, and emerging technology-based data innovation, thereby increasing competence and accelerating progress toward achieving the national and international goals including SDGs, 8th Five-Year Plan, etc. It also enhances data-driven decision making in the daily official activities.

This initiative further contributes to ensuring a Zero digital divide and non-discriminatory public services by harnessing data for decision-making, ultimately leading to a data-centric knowledge-based government for inclusive development. Thus, National Dashboard- an all-encompassing approach, establishing a data-driven decision-making culture, data leadership, and data-driven governance, is instrumental in ensuring the successful implementation of the SDGs and other development plans.
