The OGP Support Unit is a small, permanent secretariat that works closely with the Steering Committee to advance the goals of the Open Government Partnership. The Support Unit is designed to maintain institutional memory, manage OGP’s external communications, ensure the continuity of organizational relationships with OGP’s partners, advance implementation of OGP’s strategy and support the broader membership. The Support Unit’s organizational structure was revised in 2023 to align with OGP’s 2023-2028 strategy.
