To become a member of OGP, participating countries must endorse a high-level Open Government Declaration, deliver a country action plan developed with public consultation, and commit to independent reporting on their progress going forward.
GOVERNMENTS: Governments interested in participating in the Open Government Partnership will go through a formal process which follows steps below:
- Achieve Eligibility
- Submit Letter of Intent
- Identify a Lead Ministry or Agency
- Develop an OGP National Action Plan
CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS: OGP’s model does not require civil society organizations to join through a formal process as governments do. Instead, organizations or individuals should find their own ways to become active in OGP through the global community, national dialogue, or both.
