DPA's and technology
summary
Survey of 32 national and 46 sub‑national DPAs reveals ~80% national response rate and extreme size variation (one-person offices to 100+ staff). Most DPAs self-rate ICT expertise above medium but acknowledge shortfalls in non‑technical staff familiarity; common causes are budget and low public‑sector pay. Majority prefer building in‑house expertise while using external help for peaks. Respondents list 68 technologies mentioned (avg 3.5 per DPA), prompting proposals for skill benchmarks, pooled expert centers and stronger DPA–industry engineering dialogue.
