2. Open Government Partnership: Global Dialogue on Preparation of National Action Plans

February 28, 09:00am – 11:30am Washington time

FYR Macedonia and Moldova are among the growing number of countries that are seeking to adopt the open government paradigm (e.g., platforms for citizen engagement, mechanisms for monitoring service quality, open data) to facilitate public sector reform and foster innovation and competitiveness. The proposed workshop aims to provide a core group of policy makers from FYR Macedonia and Moldova with relevant input and experiences from peer countries – Brazil, the United Kingdom and the United States – enabling them to develop bold but focused national Action Plans as part of their initiative to join the Open Government Partnership (http://www.opengovpartnership.org). More details are coming soon.
