At the heart of
the Open Government Partnership lies a mission to bring together
government reformers and civil society leaders to create and implement
action plans that make governments more inclusive, responsive and
accountable. However, anecdotal evidence indicates that open government
processes have struggled to fully include women and other historically
disempowered groups in the co-creation and implementation of national
action plan commitments. Additionally, out of the few action plan
commitments that have included gender as a focus, those commitments are
more likely to lack ambition, specificity, and completion.
This
call for proposals is commissioned under the Feminist Open Government
Initiative, a collaboration between Results for Development, the
International Development Research Centre, and the Open Government
Partnership. To enhance women’s participation and gender throughout
OGP’s work, the Feminist Open Government Initiative aims to:
- Build and deepen evidence around the impact that gender equality can have on improving governance on public services, addressing corruption, and opening up civic space and inclusion;
- Encourage governments to design and implement improved gender-aware OGP commitments; and
- Establish an international coalition of partners to drive effective participation for all in open government processes.
