Europe Regional Meeting
The OGP Europe Regional Meeting will take place on October 11-12, 2022 in Rome, Italy.
2021-2023
Action Plan 5
The UK’s fifth action plan includes a promising commitment on open contracting, while also covering new topics like open justice and algorithmic transparency and accountability. Despite iterative dialogue between stakeholders during the co-creation process, civil society was strongly dissatisfied with the government’s unilateral changes that weakened the ambition of commitments at the last stage of the process. The UK should use the opportunity for amending the action plan to restore a strong domestic OGP process.
The UK’s fifth action plan builds on previous efforts in open contracting, health sector transparency, and international illicit finance, while also pursuing new areas of open justice and algorithmic transparency and accountability. Commitment 1 on open contracting is a promising commitment which includes activities that could considerably improve the transparency of government procurement. The other commitments, though verifiable, lack specific and measurable milestones that would allow detailed analyses of their potential for results. Some commitments involve engaging stakeholders, but the structures of these engagements and intended results are not well-defined. More

The following variables answer the question “Did this commitment open government?“, and focus on how government practices have changed as a result of the commitment’s implementation.
No IRM data
Pending IRM Review
Starred commitments in OGP are one of the ways the IRM designates promising reforms. The graph below shows where the major areas for improvement in action plan design and implementation should take place based on past action plans.
Stars (Global average 7%)
Focus on implementation

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

(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.

As a co-founder of OGP, the United Kingdom has been a global leader on open government and anti-corruption efforts, implementing four open government action plans to date. However, the Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) has completed its review of the UK’s most recent action plan, finding that it has failed to meet minimum standards that are required when developing an OGP action plan.
