Would you like to help increase citizen participation, transparency & accountability in Government?

We invite you to attend one of five upcoming workshop, being held around the country in February, to seek your ideas and thoughts on the next Open Government Partnership (OGP) National Action Plan 2020-22 (NAP3). Feedback from the workshops will help inform the development of Australia’s third national action plan and the commitments we make as a country, to be finalised later this year.

The workshops:

• Canberra—Thursday, 6 February 2020
• Launceston—Friday, 14 February 2020
• Townsville—Friday, 21 February 2020
• Perth—Wednesday, 26 February 2020
• Sydney—Friday, 28 February 2020

If you can’t attend a workshop, we welcome you to tell us what you think by:

• leaving a comment and engaging with us on our website at ogpau.pmc.gov.au
• emailing us at ogp@pmc.gov.au

You can also sign up to the OGPAU mailing list to get the latest updates on OGP activities and the development of NAP3.

For anyone unfamiliar with OGP, it’s an international initiative about making governments more open and transparent and improving government decision making across the world. Launched in 2011, the initiative now has membership from over 70 countries, including Australia signing on to the Partnership in 2015, and since having delivered two National Action Plans.

Together, these two plans deliver 23 reform commitments that are intended to enhance transparency, accountability and public engagement across the Australian Government. The wide range of themes include: combatting corporate crime; improving the accessibility of government-held information; and enhancing public participation in decision making.
