The Ministerial Administration of Data, Algorithms and Source Codes (AMDAC)
Each ministerial pole has its AMDAC and its roadmap
Created by the Prime Minister via the circular of April 27, 2021, regarding public policy on data, algorithms, and source codes, AMDACs are responsible for developing the strategy of ministries in these areas, coordinating stakeholders, and being the point of contact for data users and digital applications relevant to each ministerial pole. A roadmap for data, algorithms, and source codes is drafted and supports the actions of the AMDAC. The inter-ministerial network of AMDACs is coordinated by the General Administrator of data, algorithms, and source codes who is the Director of Digital for the State (DINUM – Stéphanie Schaer)
Who is the AMDAC of the ecological transition, territorial cohesion, and sea pole ?
For the ministerial pole of Ecological Transition, Territorial Development, the General Commissioner for Sustainable Development (CGDD – Brice Huet) is instituted as AMDAC of the ministerial pole with two delegated ministerial administrators receiving support from the Ecolab team in this regard:
- for Territorial Development, Laurent Rojey – Deputy Director General for Digital of the ANCT (roadmap)
- for the rest of the ministerial pole of ecological transitions, territorial cohesion, and sea, Thomas Cottinet, head of Ecolab (who was already a delegated ministerial administrator) (roadmap)
The Digital Direction of the pole participates in the work of the AMDAC for its scope of competence (Infrastructure, urbanization, algorithms, and source codes).
What do we actually do ?
The AMDAC is the custodian of public policy regarding data. In this capacity, it works to ensure that data is exposed and understood, that it circulates in “open data” when possible or otherwise among stakeholders, and that it is activated as effectively as possible for our public policies, those of other administrations, and outside the public sphere to make the ecological transition more effective.
The roadmap of the ministerial pole outlines the actions of the AMDAC through 6 objectives and 2 transversal levers. They focus equally on supporting individual projects and public policies and enabling a collective capacity building of the ministerial pole, actors, or just data consumers. In this respect, they contain actions for cultural adaptation, training as well as the actions developed by Ecolab projects to discover on this site. They concern data in its 3 forms : IT, legal, and operational.
