About NOGP

One of the most important forms of open data is open government data (OGD), a form of open data created by governing government institutions. The importance of open government data stems from its integration into citizens' daily lives, even into routine/ordinary tasks that seem far removed from government.

Open government data is a fundamental building block of open government, which enhances services, transparency, accountability, and public participation. Open data allows governments to use new, evidence-based methods to make policy decisions and allocate human and financial resources. This aims to improve the overall efficiency of government operations and proactively deliver smart, innovative, and personalized public services. At the same time, it enhances the quality of interactions between government and citizens, making them more effective, efficient, and transparent .
