In 2016, the State Services Commission formed an Expert Advisory Panel (EAP) to work with government on New Zealand's Open Government Partnership (OGP) processes. The Terms of Reference for the EAP have been updated.
Terms of Reference for Expert Advisory Panel - September 2018
Ngā Uara: How Te Kawa Mataaho Public Service Commission and the Expert Advisory Panel work together
The partnership between civil society and government is a critical component of the OGP. OGP's Participation and Co-creation Standards require that a multi-stakeholder forum is formed. The EAP functions as New Zealand's multi-stakeholder forum.
The EAP assists with development, implementation and evaluation of the commitments in New Zealand's National Action Plans and any other relevant OGP matters.
