Expert Advisory Panel

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. 

In 2016, Te Kawa Mataaho Public Service Commission (formerly State Services Commission) formed an Expert Advisory Panel (EAP) to work with government on New Zealand's Open Government Partnership (OGP) processes.  The EAP functioned as New Zealand's multi-stakeholder forum and assisted with development, implementation and evaluation of the commitments in New Zealand's National Action Plans and any other relevant OGP matters. Their appointments expired on 30 June 2023. The Terms of Reference under which they operated can be found here along with EAP meeting papers and udpates.
