2019-2020 Federal Data Strategy Action Plan Summary

Core Content

The 2019-2020 Federal Data Strategy Action Plan outlines 16 key actions to implement the Federal Data Strategy, which is a ten-year vision aimed at leveraging data as a strategic asset to support democracy, mission delivery, public service, and resource stewardship while protecting security, privacy, and confidentiality. The plan is structured into three categories: Shared Actions, Community Actions, and Agency-Specific Actions. It emphasizes collaboration, standardization, and capacity building across the federal government.

Main Viewpoints

• The Strategy is a collaborative effort involving federal agencies and the public.
• The Action Plan is designed to align with existing initiatives and future legislation, such as the Foundations for Evidence-based Policymaking Act (Evidence Act) and the Geospatial Data Act.
• A coordinated and consistent approach is necessary for ethical data management, data protection, and workforce development.
• The Action Plan includes funding for shared actions, while agency-specific actions rely on existing resources.
• The goal is to improve data discovery, access, quality, and use across the federal government.
