Open Government—A Long Way Ahead for Afghanistan
—A General Analysis on Action Plan 1 (2017-2019) ()
ABSTRACT
The concept of Open Government has become very important for democratic
countries since 2011. Governments are supposed to fundamentally transform
information as well as data to citizens to become more openness and
responsiveness. Democracy requires transparency, citizen’s participation on policy
making and accountability. This paper aims to focus on Open Government
Partnership in Afghanistan. The recent report of OGP in 2019 shows
that 79 countries and a large number of local governments are representing more
than two billion people along with thousands of civil society organizations as members
of the Open Government Partnership. Afghanistan joined
OGP in late 2017. According to the OGP annual report in 2019, this country is
at bottom of the list. This study found that Afghanistan still has a long way
ahead to become a real Open Government.
