Open Gov Week 2021
From May 17-21, join open government champions from around the world to share ideas, discuss solutions, and commit to new levels of citizen participation in government to respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Already, open data is helping track the pandemic and empowering citizens with information.

Open government ensures government keeps the receipts and citizens can monitor the trillions being pumped into economies.

Open Renewal is about more than resetting. It is about tackling the systematic weaknesses in our societies that for too long have held too many back.
In 2021, OGP members will co-create a record 100+ action plans. This is an opportunity to demonstrate how open government is essential to how we respond, recover, and eventually renew our societies.

Open Renewal coincides with OGP’s 10th anniversary and is also intended to renew the spirit, optimism and energy that first launched OGP and to put it to use to address the challenges of today. To incentivize the Partnership, the Co-Chairs of OGP, the Republic of Korea and Maria Baron of Directorio Legislativo, have launched a global call-to-action for all OGP members in 2021 to showcase through their new and existing action plans ambitious commitments that address these challenges – including through the co-chair priorities areas of anti-corruption, civic space and participation, and digital policies.
