Current Action Plan
2023-2027
Action Plan 3
- Number of Commitments: 7
- Policy Area Focus: Not specified
In its third cycle, Portugal opted for a four-year action plan that provides continuity to open government reforms amid changes in the country’s political leadership. Promising commitments seek to better implement access-to-information legislation by enhancing capacity building of public officials, particularly at the local level. Many of the plan’s commitments lack ambition, focusing on ongoing efforts and training public officials. Moving forward, Portugal has the opportunity to revise the plan to strengthen its potential for results, and revitalize the National Network for Open Administration. (More)
