Action Plan 3
France’s third action plan touches on more topic areas and includes more institutions than any previous action plan. However, there was a lack of meaningful dialogue with civil society during the co-creation process, and most of the 59 commitments have unclear potential for results or lack sufficient detail to be assessed. To revitalize the OGP process, the government could approach implementation of commitments with greater ambition than written in the plan and in greater collaboration with civil society.
France’s third action plan contains 59 commitments. It carries over topics from its previous action plan, such as citizen engagement in environmental policy, lobbying transparency, procurement transparency, and aid transparency. It also covers new areas, such as transparency of COVID-19 funding and citizen participation in health and education policy. The government took a conscious choice to have a broad plan, that would “initiate and support a cultural change within the public administration”. More

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.
No IRM data
Pending IRM Review
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.
Stars (Global average 7%)

Focus on relevance to open government
Focus on verifiability
This table shows: 1) the level of public influence during the development and implementation of OGP action plans, 2) whether consultations were open to any member of the public or only to those invited; and 3) whether a forum existed that met regularly.

The data below is drawn from the 2019 OGP Global Report. You can view and learn more about the report here.
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.
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.
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.
Reflect “real-world” performance, i.e., performance outside of the OGP framework. Scores are comprised of various indicators collected by respected organizations.

In France, the Digital Republic Law requires that all algorithms used by the government be made open and accessible to the public. Etalab has produced guidance for government agencies on the legal framework and how to publish this information, and is working on practical guidance to build public registers of algorithms. Through this work, France’s citizens can start to see how the government uses algorithms to make decisions that may impact them, laying the groundwork for greater accountability.
France implemented new open data clauses in government contracts, increasing competition between firms when applying for these contracts – eventually leading to better quality services for citizens.
Over the last few years, the use of automated decision-making tools by governments has grown significantly. Learn how France is working to make these tools transparent and keep governments accountable.
