To enhance transparency, make data publicly accessible, support innovation and economic development, and maximize the benefits of open data in alignment with social responsibility through.

The National Open Data Portal contributes to enhancing the transparency of government performance by making data and information issued by government entities accessible to the public. The portal serves as a trusted source enabling citizens, businesses, and the community to access information, thereby increasing trust in government institutions.

The portal provides a supportive and stimulating environment for innovation by offering a diverse range of reusable data for individuals, businesses, and developers. This data helps in developing innovative products and services, enhances entrepreneurship opportunities, supports the digital economy, and opens new horizons for investment and business opportunities across various sectors.

The National Open Data Portal is an effective tool to promote community participation in policymaking and decision-making. It enables citizens and civil society to access accurate data they can analyze, helping them provide evidence-based proposals and engage in public discussions on social and economic issues.

The portal supports sustainable development efforts by providing accurate and diverse data on natural resources, climate change, and urban planning. This data allows stakeholders, researchers, and decision-makers to analyze current realities and make informed decisions that enhance environmental and social sustainability in the Sultanate of Oman.

Through this portal, we aim to:

• Centralize access to official government data across sectors such as health, education, economy, environment, and transportation.
• Enable data discovery, download, and visualization through interactive tools and dashboards.
• Support researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and policymakers with up-to-date, reliable data for analysis and innovation.
• Promotes a culture of data openness across government institutions through ongoing collaboration and capacity-building.

To enhance the concept of data governance and management in the government entities and to maximize the value of data as a national asset that supports decision-making, Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology issued the National Data Governance and Management Framework.
