Call for Innovative Open Government Cases 

The OECD Open Government Unit, in collaboration with the Observatory for Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) and the Open Government Partnership (OGP) launched a call for innovative open government cases. Many thanks to all those who responded and shared their innovative open government cases on this platform.

While the initial call is now closed, the platform will remain open for governments, civil society and the private sector to share their innovative open government practices. Submit your cases in English, French or Spanish here.

The initial call for innovative open government cases was held from November 2018 to April 2019, and received over 100 novel, implemented and impactful practices from more than 42 countries. These stories will serve to inspire policy makers and civil society across the world to push the open government agenda forward.
