Four years since the SDGs were agreed, there is widespread concern that implementation is so badly off-track for most targets that a dramatic shift in action will be needed to make significant progress by 2030.

Open government can be a strategic tool to help with implementation across the 17 SDGs.

Con toda seguridad, la OGP, y las estratgias del Gobierno Abirto, son fundamentales para el logro de los ODS.
El problema, es la socialización de unos y otros para que haya empoderamiento por la soiedad y las estructuras gubernamentales, para así superar las barreras de orden cultural.

I am really excited that OGP is bringing to fore the challenges that SDG 16+ is designed to respond to. I have been working the space and I think OGP involvement will be a boost to releasing the intentions of SDG 16 +

We very much welcome the implementation of SDG 16 + through the Open Government Partnership if the development of the 17 SDGs is in line with the principles of OGP, in this case citizen participation and principle of co-creation.
