House passes Satu Data law to unify government data

The Indonesian House of Representatives has passed the Satu Data Indonesia (One Data Indonesia) law, aiming to consolidate fragmented government data into an interoperable national system. House Legislative Body (Baleg) deputy chairman Sturman Panjaitan stated that the law would enhance data integration from various agencies, including ministries and regional administrations.
The initiative seeks to improve transparency, accountability, efficiency, and the quality of public services through a unified data framework. Sturman emphasized that the law is based on two constitutional rights: citizens' right to obtain information for personal protection and expanding national resilience. The Satu Data Indonesia organizer will be established, reporting directly to the president, and will oversee data governance, including roles of data coaches, producers, and custodians.
