1st Civil Society Consultation Workshop on Open Government Partnership (OGP) in Afghanistan

Open Government Partnership is a multilateral initiative which aims to provide a platform for global reformers to make their government more responsive, transparent and fiscally sustainable. This initiative was established on the sidelines of UN generally assembly in 2011 by eight participating countries (Brazil, Indonesia, Norway, the Philippines, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States). This participation has now grown from 8 to more than 75 countries worldwide. The basic format for this partnership is that participating countries are committed to fighting corruption in their countries, throughout this process they are entitled to develop sets of commitments and embed them in a Package which is known as the National Action Plan.
