New Zealand’s National Action Plans under the Open Government Partnership
The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a multilateral initiative that promotes the principles of open government: transparency, accountability and public participation. Membership of OGP is one of many tools supporting open government in New Zealand.
New Zealand has been a member of OGP since 2013, and has developed five National Action Plans. You can find information about New Zealand’s National Action Plans here:
