Action Plan 5

  • Number of Commitments: 29
  • Policy Area Focus: Not specified

Uruguay’s fifth action plan is the result of a robust and highly participatory co-creation process. This plan engaged the three government branches: Executive, Legislature and Judiciary – representing advances toward an open State. Commitments included in the action plan are grouped under four thematic areas: efficient and open to citizen monitoring public administration; citizen participation and equality policies; environmental protection and surveillance, and land planning; and actions toward an open State. The IRM acknowledges the country’s efforts made to address the recommendations made to the previous action plan: strengthening civil society participation and monitoring; incorporating accountability into a greater number of commitments; engaging the private sector and moving toward openness in all three government branches. The IRM recommends strengthening and continuing to support these areas.

Uruguay’s fifth action plan includes 29 commitments. The IRM grouped 15 of such commitments in 6 thematic groups, as explained in section III and annex 1. This grouping resulted in 20 commitments that help Uruguay advance toward an open State. The plan includes two commitments by the Legislature (an added value of this plan); one by the Judiciary; and three by local governments. (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.
