Countries and Members Under Procedural Review, Inactive or Suspended or Withdrawn from OGP

Countries not complying with OGP for two cycles undergo Procedural Review by the Criteria & Standards (C&S) Subcommittee, receiving enhanced support to resolve issues. If no action plan is delivered for three consecutive years, the Subcommittee may recommend “inactive” status to the Steering Committee. Inactivity may also be recommended for repeated non-compliance.
