Nat’l council for Open Government Partnership meets
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a multilateral collaboration with a key objective to help its member-countries to make their governments more responsible to back civil role, to accept their views, and to fight against corruption. Mongolia joined the OGP in 2014, said G.Ganbold, a deputy head of the Cabinet Secretariat for Government.
At its first meeting on Thursday, the national council for OGP approved a national plan of the OGP’s cooperation and performed several works to ensure a transparency in decision-making actions and state services, to strengthen justice, and to reduce corruption rate.
The government of Mongolia set goals in its 2012-2016 action programme--to take complex measures for making itself more transparent and open to people, to introduce the one-window service, to make radical reforms in anti-corruption, and to let people participate in the state actions in all forms. Within these goals, the government has opened the “11 11” center and the Electronic Machine of State Services in order to receive people proposals and complaints, said S.Bayartsogt, a head of the Cabinet Secretariat for Government.
After this reports were given by Jack Mahoney, an official of the OGP’s division of support, and by Shreya Basu, OGP’s Regional Civil Society Coordinator for Asia Pacific, about the OGP’s activities and experiences.
