Action Plan 6

  • Number of Commitments: 10
  • Policy Area Focus: Not specified

Romania’s sixth action plan contains three promising commitments, including, for the first time, access to justice for victims of gender-based violence. The two other promising commitments continue ongoing OGP reforms, while the action plan also addresses new areas including extractives sector transparency and participatory budgeting. Implementation could benefit from targeted civil society engagement, as well as collaboration between commitments, such as for publishing high-value data sets.

Romania’s sixth action plan consists of ten commitments, half of which build upon commitments from previous plans. It covers areas in which Romania has shown a longtime interest, such as de-bureaucratization, transparency of national investment funds, and open data. New areas include participatory budgeting, environmental protection, access to justice for victims of gender-based violence, gender equality in decision-making, and joining the Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). Many commitments align with national policy strategies, European Union (EU) programs, and international funding, which will help implementing agencies to carry them out. The sixth action plan is similar in its level of ambition to the fifth plan, with most commitments constituting positive but modest steps forward. (More)

OGP Global Report Data

The data below is drawn from the 2019 OGP Global Report. You can view and learn more about the report here.

Selected Dimensions of Open Government

This section captures how each OGP member can play a leadership role, based on IRM-based findings and third-party scores. This list does not cover all of open government and OGP members are not required to take any action.

Action implications

These are recommendations on the role that each OGP member might play in each policy area. The recommendations are derived from a combination of the IRM-based findings and third-party scores.

IRM-based findings

Reflect the performance of commitments in a particular policy area, as assessed by the IRM.

 

(NC) No Commitments
(CA) Commitment(s) in the policy area.
(IR) IRM-Reviewed: At least one IRM-assessed commitment.
(C) Was Complete: At least one commitment was substantially or fully completed.
(A) Was Ambitious: At least one commitment with moderate or transformative potential impact.
(ER) Showed Early Results: At least one commitment opened government in a “Major” or “Outstanding” way.

Third-party scores

Reflect “real-world” performance, i.e., performance outside of the OGP framework. Scores are comprised of various indicators collected by respected organizations.
