In January 2018, Towards Transparency released its policy brief “Open Government is not an option but a way forward”. The document features the fact that Vietnam is currently non-eligible for OGP; however, it is not too far away for the country from meeting the minimum eligibility criteria. In Vietnam, Towards Transparency (TT) and other interested CSOs have been promoting OGP as a platform for government, civil society and the private sector to collaborate around the key open government issues and principles.
