Open Government Partnership

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a multilateral initiative that seeks to mobilise governments around the world to making measurable commitments to promote transparency, citizen participation, as well as fight against corruption and good governance, through the use of new technologies. The OGP was launched in 2011 by eight countries (South Africa, Brazil, the United States of America, Indonesia, Mexico, Norway, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom) and is governed by a Steering Committee, which is composed of representatives of governments and civil society.

Luxembourg joined the Open Government Partnership in December 2016 as a logical step following the government's commitment to more openness.
