Local and Central Government

The Programme had ongoing relationships with executive level Data Champions in public service agencies, and was establishing relationships amongst wider government, especially Crown Research Institutes and Local Government agencies.

The Programme also actively participated in and guarded the principles of open government data and information in cross-government initiatives such as the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI), Social Sector Data Integration and Analytics, Open Government Partnership, Government's Strategic Information programme, the ICT Strategy, and the Government's response to the New Zealand Data Futures Forum Report.
