The ubiquitous collection, use, and sharing of data that power today's economies challenge existing governance frameworks and policy approaches. Drawing on the extensive research and analysis conducted at the OECD on data governance, on countries' policies and practices, and the OECD legal instruments in this area, the Going Digital Guide to Data Governance Policy Making supports policy makers in navigating three fundamental policy tensions that characterise efforts to develop, revise, and implement policies for data governance across policy domains in the digital age.

El Salvador has made significant development progress in the past 30 years. The end of the civil war in 1992 marked the establishment of a liberal democracy and an open export-led development model, which led to a reduction in poverty and inequality. However, with economic growth averaging a modest 2.4% in the years before the COVID-19 pandemic, and productivity growth of 0.1% over the past decade, the post-war model has not generated the economic momentum or the jobs that the country needs. Decisive action is necessary to kickstart more robust, inclusive and sustainable development. Based on a multi-dimensional analysis of development in El Salvador, this report makes four priority recommendations: 1 build the conditions for a productive transformation and modernisation of the economy; 2 increase the quantity, quality and relevance of education; 3 manage water resources better to deliver water and sanitation for all in a sustainable manner; and 4 modernise the State so it can effectively deliver key public goods, from security to education to health, and successfully steer the next stage in the country's development.

Chronic conditions and diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe, accounting for 86% of total premature deaths, and the burden is likely to grow. The epidemiologic and economic analysis in this book suggests that policy-makers should make chronic disease a priority and focuses on the strategies and interventions to use: prevention and early detection; new provider qualifications and settings; disease management programmes; and integrated care models, though evidence on their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness is still limited. Institutional and organizational challenges are also explored and key policy recommendations made as to how to tackle them successfully.

Russia's war against Ukraine and the international sanctions introduced against the former have had an unexpectedly mild impact on Central Asia, despite the region's deep economic dependence on its northern neighbour. Notwithstanding high inflation, the five Central Asian states - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - have so far shown surprising resilience to the economic headwinds.
