OGP members are advancing LGBTQIA+ rights, civil liberties, and policy inclusion through various commitments. These efforts include engaging LGBTQIA+ organizations in co-creation processes, opening transparent and reliable data to assess the community’s situation, and designing targeted interventions to combat discrimination.
Integrating meaningful participation in policy-making has been essential for strengthening LGBTQIA+ representation and ensuring policies genuinely reflect their needs. Additionally, it has empowered these communities to monitor and provide oversight, ensuring their experiences and insights contribute to a more accountable and inclusive government and public services.
The Open Gov Guide is the go-to resource for open government reformers. The guide provides concrete recommendations for policy makers, civil society representatives, and more on how to apply open government principles to real-world challenges. Readers can also use the guide to learn more about how governments at the national and local level are putting these values into practice through OGP action plans and beyond.
Policy areas related to inclusion are mainstreamed across chapters of the Open Gov Guide.
As part of the Open Gov Challenge, the OGP Support Unit would like to recognize some of the most inspiring commitments made by participants to date. Read more about these exciting reforms on this topic below.
