MALAWI | Office of the Ombudsman attends open government partnerships meeting

Ombudsman Grace Tikambenji Malera led a delegation from her office to an Open Government Partnership Status update meeting.

During the meeting the various technical working groups appraised each other on the progress made in the various thematic areas.

The Office of the Ombudsman is part of the Anti- Corruption technical working groups.

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a unique partnership of civil society and Government founded and driven by a unity of purpose to promote transparent, participatory, inclusive and accountable governance.

The OGP implements open government commitments that enhance greater transparency, accountability and citizen engagement in policy processes and programming.

Thus, OGP membership obliges governments, in consultation with non-state actors such as civil society, citizens, media and private sector, to carry out context-relevant reforms in pertinent thematic areas of the country’s choice.
