Last year, OGP launched Open Response + Open Recovery, a campaign to ensure the fundamental values of open government were embedded in actions to end the spread of COVID-19. In 2021, OGP is adding another R to our campaign: Open Renewal.
Open Renewal is about renewing the spirit, optimism and ambition that launched OGP 10 years ago. It’s about renewing the trust between government and the citizens it serves. It’s about thinking anew on how prevalent and persistent challenges can be solved.
And it's about you. This year a record 100+ members are co-creating new action plans and many are implementing existing ones. Open Renewal is a rallying cry to inspire reformers in and outside of government to think big, to be ambitious and to develop new commitments to:
- Advance transparency and accountability
- Tackle systematic inequalities of income, gender and race
- Address threats to democracy and civic space
- Enhance public participation to reinvigorate democracy
KEY MESSAGES
Open Response: An Open Response requires governments to make their efforts clear, accurate, transparent, and anchored in robust scientific evidence, and to use public communications to inform, educate, and partner with the public.
Open Recovery: An Open Recovery is about building transparency and public oversight into stimulus and safety net resources to ensure that funds are put to good use and citizen trust in government is sustained.
Open Renewal: Open Renewal is about building back societies in a manner that addresses the persistent and prevalent challenges and injustices the pandemic laid bare, including climate change, racism and inequality, economic decline, and democratic backsliding. It is about more than resetting. It is truly about tackling the systematic weaknesses in our societies that for too long have held too many back.
