Brazil’s 2021–2023 OGP co-creation process was characterized by robust online participation, which resulted in the inclusion of commitments in new policy areas not addressed in past action plan cycles, such as animal welfare, agricultural value chains, and human rights protection. However, the action plan has an overall limited ambition, affected by COVID-19 restrictions, budget limitations and the agreed recommendation to set the duration of the plan to one year because of the elections that were scheduled in October 2022.

The data below is updated periodically, most often after large numbers of new action plans and IRM reports.
Commitment Performance
The following variables answer the question “Did this commitment open government?“, and focus on how government practices have changed as a result of the commitment’s implementation.
Starred commitments in OGP are one of the ways the IRM designates promising reforms. The graph below shows where the major areas for improvement in action plan design and implementation should take place based on past action plans.

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.
As leaders, these members may consider playing a peer-support role by sharing their experiences and innovations with others in OGP, if they are not already doing so.
These are members making OGP commitments to improve their performance in the respective policy area. As members that have demonstrated political commitment through OGP, the next step is ensuring that implemented commitments have maximal impact.
These members have room for improvement in the respective policy area according to the third-party score and have not leveraged their OGP action plans to address the issue. They may consider reforms in the respective policy area, either within or outside of the OGP framework.
These members have not made ambitious OGP commitments or commitments that have shown early results. However, these members have recently made commitment(s) in the respective policy area that have not yet been assessed by the IRM. The OGP community will monitor these commitments and soon report on the progress achieved.
There is not enough third-party data available to identify an action implication.
