Tripartite Data Quality And Sharing Agreement
THE BCFNDGI has developed a concept paper and briefing note to provide a roadmap for the future of data management and development of the First Nations community across Canada. The B.C. First Nations Data Governance Initiative was created under the leadership of the Ktunaxa Nation when it shared common issues with other First Nations, including information on decision-making and governance of planning and investment strategies. The scarcity and adequacy of the data were seen as key obstacles to the success of self-management. The signing in 2005 of the Transformation Transformation Agreement by the United Nations Leadership Council of British Columbia and the Government of Canada marked the beginning of a new relationship between the tripartite partners. The 2010 tripartite agreement on data quality and data sharing in British Columbia campaigned for an obligation to ensure that federal and provincial information was shared on First Nations. The B.C. First Nations Data Governance Initiative was followed by a hands-on approach led by and for BC First Nations to implement some of the policy commitments set out in these documents. The initiative also supports the management and transfer of health services from Health Canada to the British Columbia First Nations in October 2013. First Nations across Canada are focused on data management. Alberta has established a Regional First Nations Information Centre, primarily funded by Health Canada. Quebec`s First Nations work together to build data management and information management capabilities and work with their government partners to meet their individual needs. Other regions have also organized to satisfy their interests; in BC there is the bc First Nations data governance initiative.
What we need is a national data governance strategy that reconciles these regional approaches with political reforms and broader reports of initiatives between governments.
