April 2020

Today, we are pleased to launch Open Response + Open Recovery - a new campaign to promote accountability, transparency, and inclusivity in our collective response to COVID-19. Through this campaign, we will be collecting and curating the many resources of the open government community. We’ll be creating guides to help government leaders respond and to ensure civil society has a voice in the decision-making.  And, we will be sharing stories and advocating for our principles as we move through response to recovery. 

You can join us on social media with #openresponse and #openrecovery and by visiting opengovpartnership.org/open-response. 

Open Response, Open Recovery
Building Trust as the Antidote to COVID-19

By Sanjay Pradhan, CEO of OGP 

Combining government transparency and citizen participation and oversight can help tackle three different stages of the pandemic – open response, open recovery, and open reform. Read more in our CEO’s latest piece here.

Open Digital Forum

On May 5, join open government champions during the Open Response + Open Recovery Digital Forum to explore how governments can open up in times of COVID-19. Register for the opening workshop here and learn more about the events happening during the forum here.

Open Walls

As we stare at the walls cutting us off from our communities or courageously fight to save lives and keep essentials available, we could all use some inspiration. Expressions of hope and calls for resilience surround us on the walls and buildings of our neighborhoods, in photos of what's happening in the streets, and in illustrations we've created on our own. Share what's inspiring you here.
