Current Action Plan
2023-2025
Action Plan 5
- Number of Commitments: 10
- Policy Area Focus: Not specified
Georgia’s fifth action plan spans government transparency, open data, and social inclusion. The co-creation process stalled several times and many proposals from civil society were excluded or reduced in scope, resulting in a less ambitious action plan. The reintroduction and passage of the “Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence” in May 2024 has negatively impacted the relationship between the government and civil society, putting Georgia’s continued participation in OGP at risk.

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.
