On Tuesday, 27 May 2014, a webinar in Spanish on the role of Ombudsman institutions in advancing open government (“Rol de Defensorías del Pueblo para avanzar el gobierno abierto”) will take place. The webinar is sponsored by Open Government Partnership (OGP) and the World Bank Institute and will aim to discuss the opportunities for Ombudsman offices to engage in their respective countries’ OGP processes.

Therefore, the webinar will address questions concerning the role of Ombudsman offices in the OGP process as well as possible entry points.

The webinar will be presented by Renzo Lavin, Co-Director of the Asociación Civil por la Igualdad y la Justicia (ACIJ) of Argentina, Fernando Castañeda of the Defensoría del Pueblo de Perú, and Guillermo Bonilla of the Defensoría de los Habitantes Costa Rica.
