This Global Data Barometer Country profile for Taiwan provides a quick overview of the strengths and weaknesses with regards to data capabilities, governance, availability and impact, and in comparison with other countries in the region and globally.

Taiwan scores comparatively higher from a regional standpoint for both the Governance and Capabilities pillars as well as numerous sub-indicators. However, Taiwan’s legal frameworks regarding publication of information and lobbying requires improvement, and there is limited proof of impact of data use. Evidence also points to a rural/urban divide in the implementation of an open data environment, and while there is evidence of the desire to train civil servants, as of now there is no evidence of data-related trainings in Taiwan.
