The Philippines will host the 2025 Open Government Partnership (OGP) Asia and the Pacific Regional Meeting (APRM) in February. The event will bring together government leaders, civil society representatives, and global partners to discuss open government initiatives and progress on key issues. The Philippines, a founding member of the OGP, is committed to promoting transparent, participatory, and inclusive governance.
THIS coming February 5, 6, and 7, the Philippines will host the 2025 Open Government Partnership Asia and the Pacific Regional Meeting , with the Department of Budget and Management spearheading the monumental event.
Last September 2024, the Philippines successfully joined the OGP Steering Committee, which is the governing body of the organization. The Committee is responsible for the development, promotion, and advancement of OGP’s strategic direction. It also promotes collective action on policy development through various events in which ministers and heads of state participate.
Due to these collective efforts, the Philippines ranked first in budget transparency, “not only in Southeast Asia but in all of Asia,” according to the latest Open Budget Survey. To mainstream open government initiatives, the PH-OGP Steering Committee, along with the PH-OGP Secretariat, developed several strategies in the 6th PH-OGP National Action Plan . Formulated through the recommendations of various stakeholders and key experts from both sectors, this Action Plan highlights solutions that unswervingly respond to the country’s emerging problems.
