Open Gov Guide (2024)
The Open Gov Guide is the “how-to” resource on applying open government principles to real-world challenges. It is a one-stop shop for concrete recommendations, examples of reforms, and international standards and guidance to help reformers, whether they are working on an OGP action plan, trying to meet the Open Gov Challenge, or working outside of OGP processes.
The Open Gov Guide draws on the work of reformers and advocates around the world, who shaped the guide through their expertise and experience.
