National Action Plan on Open Government Commitment

The IDRC supported program achieved greater than expected results. The project aimed to increase the number of new women’s rights groups and LGBTQI+ groups engaged in open government practices and data production consultations by adding 10–15 new groups around the world and 5–10 LGBTQI+ groups. The actual results reported in monitoring data are 50+ women’s groups, 2 new LGBTQI+ groups engaged and 3 new groups on indigenous sovereignty have engaged in open government practices and data production consultations. Although it is known that more LGBTQI+ groups were engaged, disaggregated data was not reported for this group, which could be because of difficulties with recording the participation of such groups. Interestingly, most of the examples provided by the grantees go beyond engagement in consultations and forums to actual involvement in research design, data collection, sense-making and dissemination.

fora, culminating in a total of 50 new women’s rights groups
