Action Plan 5
Spain’s fourth action plan saw a high level of implementation, the institutionalization of civil society participation in the Open Government Forum, and the involvement of all autonomous communities. However, reforms to the legal framework for access to information, a key civil society priority, was not completed. Going forward, Spain could improve its public engagement strategies to become a global leader in open government.
Spain joined the Open Government Partnership (OGP) at its founding in 2011. Since then, its participation has expanded to include seven OGP Local members, and the engagement of all autonomous communities in its latest national action plan.
Across Spain, local governments are embracing reforms to make public information easier to understand. Learn more about efforts to increase accessibility in Aragon, Madrid, and Navarra, as part of broader efforts by OGP Local members in Spain.

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.
