    Abstract COVID-19 has required governments to turn to digital interventions – and become more data-driven – to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and inclusivity of public services. Small Island Developing States (SIDS), in particular, are embracing new technologies. In the midst of the pandemic, Cabo Verde, and São Tomé and Príncipe implemented open-source district health information systems to enhance health coverage, whilst Dominica launched a digital marketplace for freelancers to generate income online. This growing digitalisation means that public services are becoming ‘always on’, reaching wider and more diverse groups of citizens, and generating unprecedented amounts of data. This ‘revolution in data’ provides exciting and new opportunities to improve the relevance and impact of public services – and to ensure that no one is excluded. However, using this data to drive better public services – and to understand what does and does not work – requires new tools, and new ways of thinking and working. It requires ‘digital analytics’.
