NATIONAL DATA GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK
The National Data Governance Framework provides a common foundation for realizing this ambition. It establishes principles, standards, and institutional mechanisms to maximize the value of government data, safeguard privacy and confidentiality, and align national practices with international norms. Through strong governance, Rwanda will advance data quality, enable interoperability, encourage trusted data sharing, and build a culture of openness and innovation.
NATIONAL DATA CLASSIFICATION AND ACCESS GUIDELINE
The data classification and access guideline serves as a strategic framework for organizing, processing, and accessing national data according to its sensitivity, value, and intended purpose.
NATIONAL METADATA MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE
These guidelines establish a coherent framework for capturing, maintaining, and disseminating metadata throughout the data lifecycle. They address persistent challenges including fragmented documentation practices, limited interoperability between institutions, and inconsistent standards that undermine data quality and usability. By fostering consistency and integration, these guidelines will strengthen data comparability across institutions and empower policymakers, researchers, businesses, and citizens to make well-informed decisions with confidence.
