Action Plan 5

  • Number of Commitments: 9
  • Policy Area Focus: Not specified

Italy’s fifth action plan contains three promising commitments that establish frameworks to develop a national open government strategy, promote the prevention of corruption through training of public administration officials and by supporting whistleblowers, and enable open data and participation for monitoring public spending. Active collaboration between government and civil society to oversee the action plan as a whole, as well as to clarify the actions and implementation of commitments, would enhance potential results.

Italy’s fifth action plan contains nine commitments which the public administration and civil society identified as priorities during the co-creation process. They focus on developing an open government strategy and governance structure, promoting integrity and preventing corruption, strengthening civil society participation, promoting engagement with women and young people and creating digital innovations.

OGP Global Report Data

The data below is drawn from the 2019 OGP Global Report. You can view and learn more about the report here.

Selected Dimensions of Open Government

This section captures how each OGP member can play a leadership role, based on IRM-based findings and third-party scores. This list does not cover all of open government and OGP members are not required to take any action.

Action implications

These are recommendations on the role that each OGP member might play in each policy area. The recommendations are derived from a combination of the IRM-based findings and third-party scores.

IRM-based findings

Reflect the performance of commitments in a particular policy area, as assessed by the IRM.

 

(NC) No Commitments
(CA) Commitment(s) in the policy area.
(IR) IRM-Reviewed: At least one IRM-assessed commitment.
(C) Was Complete: At least one commitment was substantially or fully completed.
(A) Was Ambitious: At least one commitment with moderate or transformative potential impact.
(ER) Showed Early Results: At least one commitment opened government in a “Major” or “Outstanding” way.

Third-party scores

Reflect “real-world” performance, i.e., performance outside of the OGP framework. Scores are comprised of various indicators collected by respected organizations.
