Read about New Zealand’s Fourth National Action Plan under the Open Government Partnership. National Action Plans are created out of ideas put forward by the public and civil society. These ideas are then developed into potential “commitments” by civil society, members of the public and government agencies. Citizen and community group involvement in each Plan’s development is the lifeblood of Open Government Partnership work.
