OGP CEO’s Statement on the Situation in Ukraine

Russia’s attack on Ukraine is an attack on democracy and open government everywhere. Ukrainian reformers – from government, civil society, media – have shown tremendous courage and commitment to fight corruption, strengthen democracy, and modernize Ukraine. 

They have launched world-leading reforms in public procurement, beneficial ownership transparency, and in many other areas. I call on all OGP members to take swift action and impose strong sanctions, as we stand in solidarity with our Ukrainian colleagues and friends.
