The OGP Steering Committee has three standing subcommittees to support its work. Subcommittees are charged with carrying out preliminary work to inform decisions taken by the entire Steering Committee. Subcommittees make recommendations to the full Steering Committee for decision, unless provided for otherwise in the Articles of Governance or delegated to do so by the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee may choose to form additional subcommittees as needed. Each standing subcommittee is comprised of an equal balance of governments and civil society representatives drawn from the larger Steering Committee.
For more details on the functions of each subcommittee, please refer to the Articles of Governance.
