Description:
Over the course of the next months, over 50 governments will engage, along with civil society, in the co-creation of their new National Action Plans (NAPs). The co-creation of NAPs lays at the heart of the OGP, through which countries will present new reform commitments for the next two-year period. The OGP Support Unit is tasked with providing the necessary assistance to support governments and CSOs in the co-creation of more ambitious, transformative, and overall stronger action plans.
Drawing on good practices and experiences obtained from previous support provided in the development of action plans, this webinar aims to walk participants through the action plan development process, key deadlines, tools, and techniques for drafting clear commitments and high quality action plans. The webinar will also cover the appropriate structure and format that effective commitments should follow, and share insight on how to carry out effective co-creation and consultation processes including the importance of documenting and feedback as well as setting up strong structures for continued engagement beyond the development of the plan.
Participation in this webinar is open to government officials as well as civil society members, and particularly targets country POCs who are responsible for drafting action plans at the country level.
