Open Government Partnership

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) was launched at the United Nations General Assembly in 2011. In 10 years, 78 countries and 76 local governments – together representing more than 2 billion people – along with thousands of civil society organizations have joined the partnership. The goal is to ensure that governments truly serve their citizens rather than themselves. To achieve this, over the past decade government and civil society have come together to co-create more than 4,500 reforms to make governments more transparent, participatory and responsive to citizens and less corrupt.
