New Zealand publishes Second National Action Plan
From State Services Commissioner Peter Hughes
“This National Action Plan builds on our first plan and takes into account the feedback we received from civil society and the OGP independent review mechanism. It represents a real step forward for transparency and openness and challenges government to keep doing more. We will continue to learn and improve as we develop future action plans and will continue to improve our engagement with civil society.”
The plan includes seven commitments including some that resemble topics currently under consideration for the Australian draft plan:
Commitment 1: Open Budget
Commitment 2: Improving official information practices
Commitment 3: Improving open data access and principles
Commitment 4: Tracking progress and outcomes of open government data release
Commitment 5: Ongoing engagement for OGP
Commitment 6: Improving access to legislation
Commitment 7: Improving policy practices.
