Open Data Inventory (ODIN): 2024/25 self-assessment

The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) is a globally-used measure of a country's adherence to open data standards, with biennial assessments conducted by OpenDataWatch. In the 2022/23 assessment, Malaysia ranked 67th out of 193 countries. This time around, we want to do better. This page presents our ODIN self-assessment in full compliance with the latest methodology, to help the ODIN team assess us and provide feedback quickly. Let’s see how far we can go!
