Overview
The Tides Center hosts the Support Unit of the Open Government Partnership, an international platform for galvanizing public attention and political momentum to advance open governance reforms. Through the Open Government Partnership, governments commit to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance. In its first year, the organization has grown to include over fifty-five countries. While additional countries will be encouraged to join the Open Government Partnership, the Support Unit will focus most of its attention on deepening engagement with participating governments, refining the quality of their action plans, brokering peer learning to advance implementation, and initiating the assessment and independent reporting processes.
