This session of the UK-hosted Global Partnerships Conference, moderated by Aidan Eyakuze, will examine how civic leadership across communities, digital spaces and youth movements can strengthen development impact by ensuring solutions are locally grounded, inclusive and sustainable. It focuses on how governments, funders and institutions can work in partnership with civic actors to deliver better outcomes.

It will cover:
• How community‑led approaches can scale into national and system‑level impact.
• The role of digital civic power in shaping voice, accountability, and inclusion.
• How meaningful and inclusive participation by young people improves policy and partnership outcomes.

Comments are closed.

For one week in May, come together to share ideas, discuss solutions, and commit to new levels of citizen participation in government.

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.
