Europe Regional Meeting
The OGP Europe Regional Meeting will take place on October 11-12, 2022 in Rome, Italy.
Current Action Plan
2022-2024
Action Plan 4
- Number of Commitments: 16
- Policy Area Focus: Not specified
Croatia’s fourth action plan contains two promising reforms on improving transparency of media ownership and adopting a lobbying act for the first time. Administrative delays and political limits to the co-creation process negatively affected the ambition of the action plan overall and enthusiasm for the OGP process more generally. Guaranteeing relevant civil society input in drafting the lobbying act would improve implementation and help build civil society trust in government.
Croatia’s fourth OGP action plan contains 16 commitments. Two of these are promising commitments building on previous action plans to improve media transparency and introduce a new anti-corruption strategy and lobbying legislation. (More)

OGP at Ten: Toward Democratic Renewal
When eight governments and nine civil society leaders launched OGP in 2011, no one expected it to reach its current size and scope. Over the last ten years, however, OGP has grown in ways that have exceeded expectations.
