OGP Handbook – Rules and Guidance for Participants (2020)

Version 4.1 (Formerly OGP POC Manual)
February 2020

The OGP Support Unit proudly presents the 2020 edition of the OGP Handbook: Rules and Guidance for Participants.
The  OGP Handbook: Rules and Guidance for Participants provides crisp and clear information about all things OGP for participating countries, including:

• Description of roles and responsibilities of domestic actors;
• Action plan cycle with updated calendar,
• Rules about delays and extensions,
• Advice on how to manage electoral/transitional processes, and
• General guidance on how to develop an Action Plan and Self-Assessment Reports.

For the 2020 edition we have further developed guidance on information on the minimum requirements for all OGP participating governments, especially during the co-creation process. It also includes some considerations to keep in mind due to the IRM Refresh.

This handbook was designed to be used together with the OGP Participation and Co-creation Toolkit which provides guidance on developing successful co-creation and implementation processes in line with the requirements established in the OGP Participation and Co-Creation Standards.
