  4. Open Government “Grand Challenges” • All OGP commitments should be structured around a set of 5 “grand challenges”:- • Improving Public Services • Increasing Public Integrity • More Effectively Managing Public Resources • Creating Safer Communities • Increasing Corporate Accountability Year 1 plans should cover at least one

  5. Engaging Civil Society • Develop Action plans with the active engagement of citizens and civil society: • Undertake OGP awareness raising activities • Consult widely and seek out a diverse range of views • Use online and in-person meetings • Ensure regular ongoing consultation on implementation

  6. Flexibility in what a country does • Countries can select the grand challenge(s) which most relate to their unique country contexts. • Concrete commitment can include: • existing efforts • new steps to complete on-going reforms • action in an entirely new area • “No action plan or specific commitments will be forced on any country”

  7. When the Action Plan is finished • Lodge with OGP Secretariat • Adoption at Brasilia meeting April 2012 (if ready) • Annual Progress Report by Government • Annual Independent Assessment • written by well-respected local experts • common OGP questionnaire • evidence from stakeholder interviews • peer review by international experts
