Policy Pitching – OGP Virtual Bootcamp Day 3
This week, Accountability Lab and the Government of Korea are hosting a bootcamp for the 2021 Open Government Partnership Summit’s youth delegates. Catch the Day 2 recap here.
For the final day of the OGP bootcamp, the youth delegates took everything they had learned about open government processes and collaboration across diverse interests, to create policy recommendations. Split into three groups based on their backgrounds and expertise, the delegates developed draft proposals on: i) civic space and public participation; ii) inclusive digital innovation; and iii) anti-corruption.
While brainstorming in their policy groups, the delegates focused on a number of pertinent issues, including:
- How can governments guarantee inclusive citizen participation for public projects so communities don’t feel like their tax dollars are wasted?
- How can governments encourage citizens to utilize open government data and develop programs around it that have a positive impact on their lives?
- If governments substantially or fully fund civil society organizations, will these organizations be able to fulfil their role as a check on government?
- Utilizing inclusive and accessible language;
- Weaving a common narrative within the proposal;
- Mapping out a plan for implementation,
