The 2023 Open Government Partnership (OGP) Global Summit is just four months away - September 6-7, 2023, and we have some exciting and important updates to share.

Co-hosted by OGP co-chairs, the Government of Estonia and Anabel Cruz, this Summit will bring together our diverse global community in person for the first time since 2019 to exchange experiences, good practice, and progress on open government issues, spotlight reform leaders and champions, and importantly to contribute to advancing OGP’s 2023-2028 strategy. 

We look forward to seeing you in Estonia!
