Africa and the Middle East Regional Meeting
The 2022 OGP Africa and the Middle East Regional Meeting is taking place on November 1-3 in Marrakech, Morocco.
Current Action Plan
2023-2025
Action Plan 2
- Number of Commitments: 8
- Policy Area Focus: Not specified
Cabo Verde’s OGP process continues to strengthen through the establishment of a multistakeholder forum. The second action plan contains more commitments and has a stronger open government lens than the first. There remains room to deepen civil society participation in action plan design and implementation. Reformers are also encouraged to identify how government transparency efforts can build towards greater public accountability and civic participation in the longer term. (More)
