Open Government Partnership

Overview

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a multilateral initiative that aims to secure commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption and harness new technologies to strengthen governance.

Why we are consulting

The Australian Government has delivered 2 National Action Plans (from 2016 to 2020), and now the Open Government Forum is working on the third National Action Plan (NAP3). The NAP3 will set out commitments by the Australian Government to activities that promote transparency, accountability and collaboration between the government, civil society and the business community.

The plan will be developed in consultation with civil society and government to promote good governance, clear and transparent decision-making, and policies that improve service delivery foster trust. Public consultation is a key tenet of the Open Government Partnership.
