What is Open Government Partnership?

According to OGP current grand challenges that governments face Improving public services More effectively managing public resources Increasing public integrity Creating safer communities Increasing corporate accountability

OGP commitments should reflect four core open government principles Transparency Citizen participation => we believe this will be our key focus Accountability Technology and Innovation

Open Government Partnership was launched in connection with the UN General Assembly meeting on the 20th of September. The countries that launched this initiative were United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Norway, Indonesia, Mexico, The Phillippines and South Africa.

OGP commitments are the key! Commitments to be made can be based on

existing processes/projects or can be new ones. Each commitment will include

What it is How it promotes greater transparency, accountability, citizen

participation and technology and innovation Who will be involved in the implementation of the commitment And what is hoped to achieved with the commitment

Naturally, background on current stage of open government & done actions

How do we make commitments meaningful?

New ways of working

9

New roles of public servants Job description changes Open meetings and remote access (to consultations) Cooperation between government & citizens - new

kind of electronic platforms (citizen initiative) Clear responsibilities - no more "anonymous decision-

making” "Citizen juries" as a part of decision-making processes

Page 10: OGP finland english ok fest ver 1.0

Clear language Using clear understandable language – less jargon! Meaningful structures (e.g. websites) Use of plain text Crowdsourcing the issues and solutions of poor

language Data and process visualizations Clear language in a larger meaning: better

communication visualization of data.

Open data and interfaces Part of an enabler approach This is doing ok – thus it is not the only or even key

theme

Currently the Finnish open data action plan is being introduced in the other auditorium :)
