2021-2023
Action Plan 4
Panama’s fourth action plan is robust and includes ambition commitments that address relevant issues for the country. Their implementation could bring about significant change in the democratic and social culture and practice. The plan promotes transparency of environmental and agricultural sectors – for the first time – as well as open contracting and procurments. Commitments are national in scope, enhancing their potential impact. The National Authority for Transparency and Access to Information’s experience remains present in the new administration, given the commitment shown by the outgoing and incoming officers, who led the transition and sharing of lessons learned.
Panama’s National Open Government Commission (CNGAP in its Spanish acronym), the multi-stakeholder forum charged with leading the Open Government Partnership (OGP) process in the country, submitted Panama’s 2021-2023 action plan. Focusing on developing an ambitious and relevant action plan, the CNGAP conducted a broad co-creation process, which led to the establishment of eight commitments, half of which have significant potential for results, if implemented adequately. The other half has moderate potential. (More)
