Question 26961 — foreign policy

Summary

Ms. Paula Forteza questions the Prime Minister about France's involvement in the Open Government Partnership. The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a multilateral international partnership (governments-civil society) aimed at promoting open government: transparency of public action, in particular through the opening of public data; participation of citizens in the development and evaluation of public policies; integrity of public action and public officials; use of new technologies in favor of openness and accountability. France has been a member of the steering committee since April 2014 until 2021. It co-chaired it from 2016 to 2017, on this occasion hosting the OGP World Summit in Paris in December 2016. Beyond regular representation on the various bodies, member countries undertake to put in place national action plans, responding to the challenges of the partnership. France is currently committed to a plan which it will have to justify putting into action at the end of 2020 comprising a total of 21 commitments made by 13 ministries, 3 government agencies, the Court of Auditors and the High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life (HATVP). These are organized around 5 axes: transparency of public action; the opening of digital resources and open innovation; strengthening citizen participation approaches; open government serving the global challenges of our century, development, environment and science; the opening of courts and independent administrative authorities. France's participation in the partnership demonstrates its commitment to a new form of democracy, linked to citizens' demands for development. The digital department, through the Étalab mission, has always been in charge of the operational support of France's involvement. At the institutional level, President Emmanuel Macron was present during the OGP handover ceremony, which was held on the sidelines of the 72nd United Nations General Assembly in September 2018. She would like to know the involvement that France will maintain in this partnership and which ministry and teams are responsible for carrying out the commitments made.
