Open Government Partnership
Background
Glasgow's Open Government Partnership (OGP) Local Programme membership was announced on 20 October 2020.
As a new member, Glasgow will work with local civil society organisations and other OGP members to advance the open government agenda locally and transform the way the government serves its citizens.
OGP Local Programme membership provides the city with an opportunity to learn from OGP members at the national and local level to advance the open government movement.
More information on Glasgow's membership is available from the Glasgow City Council and Open Government Partnership News and Events website pages.
Further information and updates on the commitments made as part of our Action Plan are available in the following sections.
Commitment 1 - Increase Participatory Budgeting through establishing local Citizens Panels
An update on the recommendations for a new model of Area Partnerships and Citizens' Panels was taken to the Glasgow Community Planning Partnership (GCPP) Strategic Partnership in December 2021.
Commitment 2 - Explore increased citizen participation through use of Digital Engagement
Information and updates on this commitment will be made available when they are ready.
Commitment 3 - Co-creating an Open Data Hub to make information about what we do easier to access and decisions we make more clear
Information contained on Glasgow's Open Data Hub.
Open Data Hub offers a new view of how Glasgow operates - article from Glasgow City Council website.
A campaign to highlight the benefits of greater and easier access to data was launched by Glasgow City Council to help partners and colleagues engage with this commitment.
Commitment 4 - Increase Open Government awareness and progress through use of social media, websites and direct communication with citizens
