Ghana Action Plan Review 2023-2027

Ghana’s first four-year action plan prioritizes institutionalizing open government through the passage of laws and regulations. Commitments to further open parliament and combat mis- and disinformation show substantial potential for results. Ghana can continue leveraging its robust open government community by strengthening government-civil society coalitions around priority aims. Reformers can plan for continuity through the December 2024 national elections and the opportunity to refresh the action plan midway through the implementation period.

Georgia Action Plan Review 2023-2025

Georgia’s fifth action plan spans government transparency, open data, and social inclusion. The co-creation process stalled several times and many proposals from civil society were excluded or reduced in scope, resulting in a less ambitious action plan. The reintroduction and passage of the "Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence" in May 2024 has negatively impacted the relationship between the government and civil society, putting Georgia’s continued participation in OGP at risk.

Portugal Action Plan Review 2023-2027

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.
