The Open Government Partnership:
A renewed relationship between government and civil society.
In an Open Government citizens and governments work together to strengthen democracy,
fight corruption and empower citizens.
The four principles of Open Government are:
transparency and access to information,
technology and innovation,
accountability and civic engagement.
Mexico is one of the eight founding countries of the Open Government Partnership,
an international iniciative with 63 countries
that generate a culture shift to enable dialogue and collaboration
between government and civil society.
Mexico is comitted to promote an Open Government;
we are currently the Co-Chair of the Partnership
and will become the Chair in 2015.
This commitment has resulted in the Plan of Action 2013-2015,
developed by the Tripartite Technical Secretariat
composed by the Government of the Republic,
the Federal Institute for Access to Information and Data Protection
and Civil Society Coordinating Committee.
26 commitments, including five priorities:
Citizen-centered government,
open and participatory budget,
open data for development,
citizenship empowerment and engagement,
climate change and natural resource governance.
This partnership is an evolution towards a dynamic of participation
and collaboration to transform the future of Mexico
into an Open Mexico.
