About the State of Open Government Report
The State of Open Government Report will synthesize OGP’s data and findings into one flagship publication to provide thought leadership to the partnership, provide state-of-play analysis on frontier areas of open government, and provide comparative snapshots on all OGP countries.
The report aims to raise OGP’s visibility, provide thought leadership on global trends and specific policies, and to improve incentives for individual countries.
The report will cover three areas:
- OGP in the context of global trends
- Frontier themes in open government
- Country-by-country reporting
The State of Open Government [“DiscussionDraft”] lays out the current (September 2018) concepts for the overall report as well as concepts for each of the above three parts of the report. Each of the three sections contains key information, major sources of information, and a mock-up of what the section might look like. Annex A explains how major themes or policy areas will be represented in the report (across each of the three parts of the document) and Annex B explains the data model that will be used for cross-country analysis.
The core of the publication (including both digital and print assets) is scheduled for publication in 2019. Future “modules” covering new policy areas will be rolled out across the remainder of the year. There is a current commitment to carry out two of these reports by the end of 2020.
Please see the FAQ document here. If you have any additional questions please contact us at research@opengovpartnership.org.
If you cannot make the consultations, we welcome your inputs at the same address and are looking to have public discussions on each of the sections in writing in the coming weeks.
