OGP@15: Openness, Resilience and Prosperity
The Open Government Partnership (OGP) was launched 15 years ago at UNGA.
To mark this occasion, we will convene an invitation-only OGP Leaders Roundtable under the themes of Openness, Resilience, and Prosperity on the sidelines of UNGA81. Bringing together high-level representatives from government, civil society, philanthropy and international organizations, the Roundtable creates space to take that reality seriously and ask where open government can make a difference, including:
- How can we build more inclusive and resilient institutions and societies?
- How can we ensure digital transformation remains democratic and accountable?
- How can openness contribute to prosperous and competitive economies?
We’re excited to mark 15 years with the people who have helped shape the Partnership, and to have the conversations that will help shape what comes next.
About
Fifteen years ago, the Open Government Partnership (OGP) began with a simple but bold idea: governments work better when they are transparent, accountable, and open to citizen participation. What started with eight founding countries has grown into a global movement of 73 countries, more than 135 local governments, and thousands of civil society organizations working together to make governments more open. Over that time, they have co-created thousands of reforms that strengthened right to information laws, opened up public spending and company ownership, expanded inclusive participation, and more.
OGP’s 15th anniversary arrives at a pivotal moment. Democracies worldwide are grappling with declining trust, polarization, and increasingly complex challenges. Open Government is not just more relevant; it is more necessary than ever. This milestone is both a recognition of what has been built and a call to go further, scaling ambitious reforms, strengthening democratic institutions, and advancing solutions on issues such as digital governance, civic space, economic transparency, and public service delivery.
