Promoting transparent and collaborative public action in African francophone countries

ongoing

PAGOF aims to build the capacities of countries engaged in this open government reform process (mainly Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Tunisia) and promote networking with countries wishing to get involved in it, by becoming a member of OGP.It supports the implementation of National Action Plans via technical assistance mechanisms targeting both administrations and civil society. This support targets all the reforms undertaken by these countries, which are all drivers for modernizing public policies:preparation of a law on access to information, overhaul of recruitment mechanisms in the public service,creation of a government digital portal to facilitate administrative procedures,open data in transport governance,fight against corruption, etc.To achieve this, the project deploys local, regional and international technical expertise, and promotes experience sharing between peers (workshops, training, seminars, exchange visits...). It also contributes to the Multi-Donor Trust Fund set up by the World Bank to catalyze financing for open government initiatives around the world.
