Commitment A6. Development of a cooperative monitoring tool for the fourth action plan
● Verifiable: Yes
● Relevant: Yes, access to information
● Potential impact: Minor
● Completion: Complete
● Did it open government? Marginal
This commitment was added to the amended action plan. It sought to develop an online platform for monitoring Greece’s fourth OGP action plan, including information on the implementation of each commitment and milestone. OpenGovMonitor now operates as Greece’s online repository. It includes information on commitment implementation for the fourth action plan and generally provides links to online evidence (such as relevant webpages). The website was initially launched by civil society in 2020, but is now updated by the Ministry of Digital Governance, which hosts Greece’s OGP process. The website provides information for monitoring progress, which did not exist for previous action plan cycles. However, it is not clear whether the website was updated every six months, and evidence is not provided for completion of all the milestones (as required by OGP Participation and Co-Creation Standards in effect at the time). Implementation was assessed as having marginal impact on opening government as monitoring of OGP action plans are a minimum requirement of the OGP process.
