Host Organization and Partners — The Office of the Government of Lithuania

SHARE

At the event, we will discuss together: What are we doing well, and what could we do better? Are we moving away from formal consultation toward genuine dialogue? What is the role of institutions in reducing public skepticism about decisions being made?

Representatives of the Ministry of National Defence will present their recent experience in involving the public in decision-making and implementation. We will have the opportunity to discuss both the complex Kapčiamiestis case and the development and implementation of the Civil Resistance Plan.

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.
