Upon joining OGP, governments work with civil society to co-create a year’s action plans, with concrete steps – commitments – across a broad range of issues. This model allows civil society organizations and direct citizen engagement to play a role in shaping and overseeing governments.

Based on the experience of different local governments, we have generated the following visualization of the co-creation process of an open government action plan, to help you identify what phase your local government is in.
