Action Plan 5

  • Number of Commitments: 6
  • Policy Area Focus: Not specified

Jordan joined the OGP in 2011. This report assesses the design of Jordan’s fifth action plan. The action plan consists of six commitments, with half carried forward from past action plans. Based on the previous action plan, one commitment aims to implement the civil society governance guide published, with a new focus on terrorist financing; another develops on a government public feedback portal initiative to introduce a new portal for public comments on draft laws and regulations. A commitment also builds on the second action plan, with a wider effort to introduce integrity measures for government, civil society, and the private sector. The action plan’s other commitments center on the emerging areas of youth policy, gender mainstreaming, and public participation in government capital investment projects. (More)

OGP Global Report Data

The data below is drawn from the 2019 OGP Global Report. You can view and learn more about the report here.

Selected Dimensions of Open Government

This section captures how each OGP member can play a leadership role, based on IRM-based findings and third-party scores. This list does not cover all of open government and OGP members are not required to take any action.

Action implications

These are recommendations on the role that each OGP member might play in each policy area. The recommendations are derived from a combination of the IRM-based findings and third-party scores.

IRM-based findings

Reflect the performance of commitments in a particular policy area, as assessed by the IRM.

 

(NC) No Commitments
(CA) Commitment(s) in the policy area.
(IR) IRM-Reviewed: At least one IRM-assessed commitment.
(C) Was Complete: At least one commitment was substantially or fully completed.
(A) Was Ambitious: At least one commitment with moderate or transformative potential impact.
(ER) Showed Early Results: At least one commitment opened government in a “Major” or “Outstanding” way.

Third-party scores

Reflect “real-world” performance, i.e., performance outside of the OGP framework. Scores are comprised of various indicators collected by respected organizations.
