At Involve, we’re currently coordinating a network of civil society organisations in the UK which has formed around the Open Government Partnership process. See here for more details on that.
Over the coming months the civil society network will be working with the Government to develop an ambitious open government National Action Plan. Starting on this coming Thursday (29 November), we’re going to be developing the themes and narrative for an interim plan, to be published in March.
I’d particularly draw your attention to the first session, which will be covering elements of public participation and open policy making.
The full schedule looks as follows:
29 November: NAP theme: Participation and open policy making (@ the ODI, 1230-1400)
Brown bag lunch meeting with the Cabinet Office Transparency Team and other relevant policy makers
13 December: NAP theme: Extending the principles of openness and transparency (@ the ODI, 1230-1400)
