Action Plan 6

  • Number of Commitments: 5
  • Policy Area Focus: Not specified

Estonia’s sixth action plan is focused and ambitious. It continues the previous action plans’ efforts to increase transparency and civic participation in policy-making, and introduces novel commitments around evidence-based policy-making. In both policy areas, the key challenges are stimulating sustainable cultural change in the public sector to reinforce the impact of new policy frameworks and tools.

Estonia is starting its sixth action plan at the time of taking up the role of government co-chair of the OGP Steering Committee. During its tenure, Estonia intends to promote co-creation in public policy-making, highlight the role of civil society in tackling public health and humanitarian crises, and encourage peer learning within the global OGP community.

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.
