The key objective of this session is to present and discuss country-level innovation and implementation. It seeks to be a practical discussion on how anti-corruption policies can be embedded into OGP Actions Plan and taken forward at the country level. The workshop is targeted at national civil society organizations and implementers of anti-corruption strategies and policies in governments. The OGP Anti-Corruption Working Group, who will lead this workshop, will be the go-to resource for any follow up stemming from the workshop.
This workshop will focus on offering practical advice to both government and civil society representatives within OGP, around how best to embed the Anti-Corruption Summit commitments in to National Action Plans (NAPs). Country representatives that have already integrated their anti-corruption commitments in their NAPs will talk about the processes they underwent. Thematic experts and practitioners will be able to offer practical help to interested OGP countries on what their next steps should be on implementing the commitments made.
There will also be focus on potential mechanisms, including from civil society, to track these commitments in order that a) government is sufficiently comfortable to work alongside civil society to report progress and b) these monitoring mechanisms can serve to support action.
Anti-corruption is not a new issue for the OGP. It is explicitly stated as a key goal in the Open Government Declaration, and also finds a place in several National Action Plans.
Of over 600 commitments made by 43 governments at the Anti-Corruption Summit, in May 2016, 506 were made by the 32 OGP countries in attendance. Civil society and government at the Summit collectively recognized OGP to be a critical implementing and accountability platform needed to move the anti-corruption agenda forward. Whilst the anti-corruption commitments vary in how concrete, new or ambitious they are, for them to be implemented it is important that they are firmly embedded in formal follow-up mechanisms, such as OGP National Action Plans. Most importantly, these countries also provide a critical base for peer-learning to realize the race-to-the-top principle that OGP is based on to urge other countries to make similar commitments.
This workshop will bring together government and civil society representatives from OGP countries, recapping on the commitments their country made at the Anti-Corruption Summit and looking ahead towards each country’s next steps. Focusing on a small number of issues that are prominent among the commitments made, thematic experts will offer practical help to both government and civil society representatives.
This session will be moderated by the OGP Anti-Corruption Working Group, with a panel of civil society and government representatives that can showcase how the OGP has advanced their anti-corruption work. The discussion will cover: the process of embedding Anti-Corruption Summit commitments in National Action Plans; how governments are working to implement their Summit and NAP commitments, and; plans for new initiatives which were launched at the Summit, such as the Anti-Corruption Innovation Hub.
