The Open Government Partnership (OGP) aims to help empower citizens by making governments more effective, transparent and accountable.
In just over 3 months around 1,000 participants will gather together in London for the OGP annual summit, bringing together thinkers, decision-makers and leaders from countries around the world. The OGP is keen to give everyone with an interest in openness and transparency the chance to get involved, suggest session topics and propose talks or debates.
