About us
Open Government Partnership is a multi-stakeholder initiative focused on improving government transparency, accountability and responsiveness to citizens. OGP brings together government and civil society champions of reform who believe governments are more effective and credible when they open their doors to public input and oversight. Since OGP’s launch, its membership has grown from 8 to 75 countries, 150 local governments, and thousands of civil society organizations participating in the OGP process. OGP countries represent one third of the world’s population and have made over 4,000 policy commitments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance. The Support Unit serves as the secretariat for OGP. We are a nimble, international team that supports participating countries and civil society partners, including through promoting peer learning across the OGP network. Recognizing the significant growth of OGP and the relatively small size of the Support Unit, the team works with the OGP Steering Committee to outline clear strategic priorities and cultivate partnerships to achieve these goals.
