La semana pasada, OGP reunió a 200 personas reformadoras de #gobiernoabierto en las Américas para discutir los desafíos que las democracias en la región encaran así como algunas reformas innovadoras que se están implementando para contrarrestar esos retos. https://lnkd.in/e99xSqA2 En una entrevista moderada por Vanina Berghella de International Fund for Public Interest Media, David Altman de V-Dem Institute resaltó que para afrontar los desafíos en la región, como corrupción y desigualdad, se debe fortalecer el funcionamiento de los sistemas electorales, la libertad de asociación y de expresión. Muchos países en la región ya están tomando acción. Iniciativas en tres países - Brasil, República Dominicana y Colombia - destacan y fueron seleccionadas por OGP para ser parte del Desafío de Gobierno Abierto #OpenGovChallenge. https://lnkd.in/eu2fK9V2 Brasil 🇧🇷 está apostando por mayor transparencia en los procesos de contratación abierta. “El gobierno abierto ofrece un conjunto de soluciones para que la inversión en infraestructura alcance su finalidad social, económica y ambiental”. República Dominicana 🇩🇴 está cocreando una estrategia nacional de espacio cívico para fortalecer la participación de la sociedad civil y la ciudadanía en general en el proceso de la toma de decisiones. En Colombia 🇨🇴, la Corte Constitucional ha apostado por una justicia abierta y accesible al acercar las sentencias emitidas a lenguaje simple y claro que facilite el entendimiento de la constitución y los derechos de la ciudadanía. Otra reforma interesante que promueve el #gobiernoabierto está en Ecuador.🇪🇨. El gobierno nacional trabaja con municipios para fortalecer sus estrategias de gobierno abierto y que la ciudadanía pueda beneficiarse de iniciativas que mejoren la gestión y servicios a nivel local. Para cerrar el evento, el gobierno de Brasil extendió la invitación a participar en #AméricaAbierta del 3 al 6 de diciembre 2024, donde se celebrará Abrelatam/CONDATOS , el encuentro regional de OGP, y más eventos de #gobiernoabierto. https://americaaberta.org/ Transparência Internacional - Brasil Renato Morgado Ana Ramos Corte Constitucional de Colombia

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.

A heartfelt thank you to Joe Powell for an incredible 11 years as Deputy CEO of the Open Government Partnership. Your dedication and leadership have been invaluable and the entire OGP Support Unit wish you all the best in your new endeavors. We look forward to continue working with reformers in government like you to continue building more open, inclusive, participatory, and accountable societies. #NewBeginnings
Today is my last day at OGP, after over 11 years with the fantastic Support Unit team and the incredible open gov community around the world. It has been such an honour to work with so many of you, and to have made so many lifetime friends and allies through the good times and the challenging. A few weeks ago I joined our OGP staff to say goodbye. My speech to our team is now on our website, and it sums up why I think our work is even more important today than when OGP was founded in 2011. https://lnkd.in/eUJ8fsgW Tomorrow the UK votes - and whatever happens my heart will always be with the open government movement.

🇬🇭 From June 17-21, government and civil society leaders joined OGP representatives for a series of pivotal events showcasing Ghana’s new National Action Plan and #opengov initiatives. Here’s a detailed look at the visit and outcomes: 🔍 Mukelani D., former OGP co-chair, country lead Tarik Nesh-Nash, Parliament & CSOs participated in the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) Citizens Convention. There, participants validated the Ghana Compact, ensuring that commitments and citizen voices continue to be embedded into political landscapes. 👥 Under the chairmanship of Hon. Yaw Osafo-Maafo, the Ghana OGP Steering Committee committed to the #OpenGovChallenge. This included advancing women's political participation through the Affirmative Action Bill and intensifying efforts to combat misinformation/disinformation. 🏛️ OGP also had the opportunity to meet with the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Mr. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, and explore synergies between OGP initiatives and parliamentary oversight, ensuring a robust framework for good governance in Ghana. 🤝 During the visit, OGP engaged in productive discussions with key partners, including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the European Union in Ghana, the The World Bank, and the French Embassy in Ghana / Ambassade de France au Ghana. These discussions focused on enhancing communication strategies, combating misinformation, exploring #anticorruption commitments, and supporting OGP initiatives beyond Ghana. 💬 Engaging with civil society, including the Ghana Integrity Initiative - GII, underscored the imperative of transparency and accountability across society and administration levels. Discussions with 30 representatives from civil society highlighted the importance of mainstreaming these values across different levels of society and administration. 🌐 A pivotal meeting with the Right To Information Commission highlighted progress on Ghana’s NAP implementation and leadership in regional OGP initiatives, focusing on advancing the Legislative Instrument for #RTI. This initiative aligns with efforts discussed at RTI Ghana and emphasizes Ghana's leadership in promoting transparency and accountability in Africa.
