3 What is Open Government? Open government helps governments serve people in ways that are efficient and fair. It can also help deploy new, digital tools that save public resources and make government processes more inclusive. Open government aims to: Promote increased transparency, accountability and participation Harness new technologies to strengthen governance At the global level, open government efforts are coordinated by the Open Government Partnership (OGP). Governments around the world support Open Government through Action Plans which include commitments on things like open data, open information, and open dialogue. At its heart is a simple idea: open government is good government. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Canada s involvement From October 2018 to September 2019 the Government of Canada is serving as the Government Chair of the Open Government Partnership, a Global organization with 79 member countries and 20 local governments. Canada, in its role, will be hosting the 6 th Open Government Partnership Global Summit in The priority areas for the Summit will be: Inclusion: Enable citizens, civil society and businesses to participate in government decisionmaking. This leads to more trust in government and better outcomes. Participation: Empower under-represented citizens, regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation, to engage actively with governments. This allows for more equitable governments. Impact: Help citizens understand how open government affects their day-to-day lives. This makes government accountable for results that make a difference. In hosting this global summit, the Government of Canada is looking to work with organizations that are committed to helping us deliver a world class summit.

6 Our leadership Open government is better government. Canada s goal, as we begin this year of leadership, is to empower citizens around the world to better understand, engage with and influence their governments. The Honourable Scott Brison President of the Treasury Board and Minister of Digital Government Government Chair At a time when political support for open government is waning, we need to recommit to making a more compelling investment case for open government. Nathaniel Heller Executive Vice President of the Results for Development Institute Civil Society Chair In this next phase of OGP, let us join forces to unleash a powerful, vibrant, inexorable movement for open government that prevails upon the dark, looming threats to democracy and instead realizes that precious vision - of governments truly serving their citizens.
