Since its foundation in September 2011, over 70 countries have made over 2,500 commitments for their National Action Plans. Australia joined the OGP in 2015.
Australia’s third action plan is underway. You can get involved by submitting ideas, attending workshops, and sign up to alerts from OGP Australia.
You can also find more information and links to all events at makingopen.org.
