New This Month: The OGP Gazette

¿Quieres leer este blog en español?

In an effort to be more transparent and keep you informed, OGP is introducing the OGP Gazette. This will provide you monthly updates on official happenings in OGP.

Who it is for

The OGP Newsletter is about bringing you fresh and exciting stories of open government. The Gazette is different. Not that it won’t be exciting, but it is really for the insider who wants to know the rules and the current opportunities to collaborate with the OGP. (For the extreme fans of public administration, this is simply OGP’s official register or gazette, which most of your countries publish on a daily basis.)

A short, and certainly incomplete list of who we think will be interested:

• Government points of contact;

• Activists, nonprofits, and citizens who want to know the rules and obligations of OGP;

• Colleagues in multilateral or bilateral aidMore and better information about aid helps partner countries and donor institutions plan and manage aid resources more effectively, parliaments and civil society to hold governments accountable for t... agencies looking to strategically time technical assistance;

• People involved in national level OGP dialogues;

• Current or aspiring OGP steering committeeThe Steering Committee is OGP’s executive decision-making body. Its role is to develop, promote and safeguard OGP’s values, principles and interests; establish OGP’s core ideas, policies, and ru... members.

What it contains
