Open Gov Week

May 18 – 22, 2026

LEARN MORE

Welcome to Open Gov Week!

Open Gov Week is a global initiative led by the Open Government Partnership (OGP) that brings together governments, civil society, and citizens to celebrate openness, transparency, and collaboration in public life. It’s a week where governments open their doors, online and offline, to share, listen, and collaborate with citizens.

As OGP marks its 15th anniversary, the OGP community stands at a pivotal moment. This anniversary is both a moment to celebrate progress made by reformers and a call to action for the future.

Open government is more important than ever and a strong path to create more open, resilient, and prosperous societies.

15 Years of the Open Government Partnership

OGP Logo

Fifteen years ago, OGP launched with a simple but radical premise: that government should serve the people, not the other way around. Over fifteen years, OGP has become the foremost global forum for advancing transparency, accountability, and public participation in government.

In an era of democratic regression and geopolitical fragmentation, platforms that sustain targeted collaborations among likeminded states and between governments and civil society are strategically vital. OGP is one of the few to endure.

The next phase requires action across the partnership: Governments forming cross-border coalitions to address common priorities; political leaders integrating openness into core national agendas; donors and funders sustaining investment and enabling scale; civil society continuing to propose, push, monitor, and demand.

The question ahead is scale and commitment.
