    Events in Covid and in the recovery show the open data, openness and transparency underpin citizens' trust in governments and the public sector. Going forward, it will be important for the economic and health plans to be transparent and for data to be open. Civil society can contribute to this and co-design effective solutions in Scotland.
    Who the data is for is also important and citizens have started to enter this dialogue.
