Partnerships and Coalitions

OGP convenes and participates in different coalitions and thematic groups to advance a range of issues including beneficial ownership transparency, artificial intelligence, and youth. OGP has also signed agreements with key partners to deepen collaboration.

Launched in 2019 by OGP and Accountability Lab, the Collective is the premier global network where young leaders can meaningfully shape open government reforms, connect with peers, and engage directly with the OGP community.

OGP convenes an informal network of implementing governments, mobilizing a cross-country coalition of those working on algorithmic accountability.

The Coalition to advance proactive disclosure through sharing of best practices and development of an international standard was launched by the Netherlands, OGP, and OECD at the OGP Global Summit in Vitoria-Gasteiz in October 2025.

The OGP Coalition on Justice is a group of OGP members, civil society organizations, and other national and international partners advancing a people-centered approach to justice through their OGP action plans.

The Nordic+ is a regional peer exchange caucus where government and civil society meet to identify best open government practices and share their experiences in implementing open government reforms.
