PhilHealth Regional Office (PRO) VII regularly engages with members, stakeholders, and partners in Central Visayas. These efforts were highlighted during Open Government Week to showcase the PRO’s commitment to collaboration and transparency.
For one week in May, come together to share ideas, discuss solutions, and commit to new levels of citizen participation in government.
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.
