Open Gov Week is a global initiative promoted by the Open Government Partnership (OGP) to raise public awareness of the values of open government. On this occasion, reformers will come together in public debates, assemblies, hackathons, and webinars, and by sharing stories and good practices will accelerate solutions to respond most pressing problems and advance democracy. They aim to achieve this by protecting the right to information, fighting corruption, safeguarding civic space, combating climate change, improving digital governance, opening up budgets, ensuring all voices are heard, expanding access to justice, guaranteeing media freedom, and enhancing public participation. For the open government community to rise, increase the ambition of open government initiatives, ensure lasting impact, and collectively seize the moment, as a part of the Open Gov Week, OGP has launched the Open Gov Challenge.
