Recommendations by Policy Area
The guide is a one-stop shop for concrete recommendations, examples of reforms, and international standards and guidance.
It is a resource to help reformers, whether they are working on an OGP action plan, trying to meet the Défi du gouvernement ouvert, 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. The full guide can be downloaded ici.
A free and active civil society is key to ensuring that institutions are open, accountable, and responsive. OGP members are working to promote and protect basic democratic freedoms, such as freedom of expression, assembly, and association, as well as media freedom, while tackling the new opportunities and challenges offered by their implementation online.

Climate change is an incredibly complex challenge affecting everyone. Open government practices enable governments and citizens to see the true costs of pollution, discuss and co-create alternative approaches for national socio-economic development, and ensure that there is adequate public oversight of climate change and environmental policies and spending.

Defense is a pressing issue for many countries, especially in the face of evolving, complex security threats. OGP members have strengthened their security by bringing in important democratic transparency and oversight measures, touching on open contracting, fiscal openness, election security, and digital governance reforms.
Defense and Security
Alors que les technologies nouvelles et émergentes offrent aux gouvernements et aux citoyens des opportunités de faire progresser l’ouverture, la responsabilité et les pratiques participatives, les membres de l’OGP s’efforcent de créer des politiques visant à maximiser les avantages de ces avancées tout en se prémunissant contre les dommages causés, par exemple, par la désinformation et la mésinformation en ligne ou par l’utilisation malveillante d’applications d’IA.

Rendre les budgets ouverts à la contribution du public garantit que la planification et les dépenses du gouvernement s’alignent sur les priorités publiques et permet un contrôle sociétal. Cela implique de publier des informations budgétaires dans un langage simple et dans des formats accessibles et d’accroître la participation et le contrôle de la budgétisation.

Inclusion is fundamental to achieving more equitable, representative, and accountable policies that truly serve all people. OGP members are advancing gender and inclusion throughout open government initiatives, whether in championing innovative gender-specific reforms, engaging youth communities in co-creation, or integrating inclusion as a priority across themes and commitments.
Gender & Inclusion
OGP members use open government approaches to address barriers that prevent people from having their justice needs met, empower them to understand their legal problems, and seek help through fair and impartial processes in formal and informal institutions. This includes creating alternative dispute mechanisms, opening justice data, and increasing avenues for public feedback.
Justice
Transparency and access to information, participation, and public accountability are core open government principles and serve as OGP’s principal values. The chapters under this theme focus on cross-cutting policy areas that enable and amplify the benefits of all open government initiatives.
