Action Plan 5
Estonia’s fifth action plan continues to pursue the long-term goal of open and inclusive policy-making at the national level and open government at the local level, while also addressing lobbying transparency and, for the first time, whistleblower protection. The IRM recommends encouraging the use of the new co-creation toolbox and whistleblower reporting system through large-scale awareness-raising and capacity building efforts.
Estonia’s fifth action plan contains three commitments across three distinct areas, each consisting of two sub-activities. Commitments 1 and 2 aim to increase civic engagement in the co-creation of policies and to enhance government capacities at the national and local levels. Both directly continue from commitments in the fourth action plan. Commitment 3 addresses the regulation of lobbying practices and strengthening whistleblowing protections. For the purposes of this review, the IRM has un-clustered the activities under Commitment 3 into two separate commitments and analyzed them independently as Commitment 3.1 (lobbying regulation) and 3.2 (whistleblower protection).
