Action Plan 5

  • Number of Commitments: 5
  • Policy Area Focus: Not specified

The Czech Republic’s fifth action plan contains promising commitments on increasing transparency of court decisions and establishing a framework for whistleblower protection. A whole-of-government approach in developing and implementing future action plans could lead to a greater number of ambitious commitments outside the scope of the Ministry of Justice.

The Czech Republic’s fifth OGP action plan consists of five commitments. The two promising commitments on transparency of lower court decisions and whistleblower protection, as well as a commitment on open data in education, stem from commitments in the previous action plan.

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.
