  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.
