IRM Products

The Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) is a key means by which all stakeholders can track OGP progress in participating countries. The IRM produces the following for each country participating in OGP: a Co-Creation Brief; an Action Plan Review; and a Results Report.  For a detailed description of the production process and timeline, please see the IRM Process Pathway.

The co-creation brief shares lessons from past action plans and international open government practice to support multi-stakeholder forums and/or governments to co-design high quality, ambitious and feasible action plan commitments.
