About

All planning and progress is published on our wiki

About this planning page

This planning page has been set up by Scotland's Open Government Network and the Scottish Government to openly plan the process for developing Scotland's second Open Government Action Plan. It has been set up to collaboratively build the engagement process and to document the decisions and actions that are taken. More details about the next action plan can be found below.

How it works

Both the network and Scottish Government are working together to build a comprehensive plan to help us deliver the next action plan. The Network's Coordinator (Paul Bradley) and equivalent at the Scottish Government (Emma Harvey and Niamh Webster) are steering the process and are liaising with Government colleagues and members of Scotland's OpenGov Network (Action Plan Sub-group) to build the plan. All information from planning meetings, engagement outputs and the overall process will be published here.

How to contribute

We have selected this open source platform with you in mind! Whilst the basics have already been mapped out on this page, anyone can suggest additions or changes to our engagement process by simply editing a section. We encourage you to do so, and you can submit edits anonymously or if you would like us to get in touch you can add your name after your edit and join our online forum.

Open Government Partnership

About Scotland's Open Government Partnership (OGP) Action Plan 2018 - 2020

This is part of Scotland's promise as a member of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), to work with citizens and civil society to implement open government reforms. Last year, Scotland became part of the Pioneer Tier of the Open Government Partnership, a pilot program consisting of 15 local governments with action plans to open up government throughout 2017. As the 2017 plan comes to an end (see more here), we are beginning to develop and launch the 2018-2020 open government action plan.

What it's about

Open government is the simple but powerful idea that governments and institutions work better for citizens when they are transparent, engaging and accountable. The international Open Government Partnership puts this into practice by supporting member governments to develop concrete commitments in partnership with civil society which aim to improve how people see, understand and are able to influence decisions which affect them. These commitments form 2 year action plans, which are monitored and independently assessed.

Open government has three parts:

  1. Transparency – opening up of governmentinformation data and on areas such as public spending, govment contracts, lobbying activity, the development and impact of policy, and public service performance.
  2. Participation - for a strong and independent civil society, the involvement of citizens and other stakeholders in decision making processes, and protection for whistleblowers and others who highlight waste, negligence or corruption in government.
  3. Accountability – rules, laws and mechanisms that ensure government listens, learns, responds and changes when it needs to.

Done well, open government reforms can transform the relationship between people and their governments and institutions, ensuring that they are properly responsive to citizens, while improving their efficiency and effectiveness, preventing abuses of power and building trust.

2017 Open Government Action Plan

How it works

Civil Society and the Scottish Government will co-create the 2018-2020 National Action Plan (NAP). The action plan is at the core of Scotland's participation in OGP and should contain between three to five commitments. It should be the product of a participatory process which enables people to help develop effective commitments that matter to them.

Successful OGP action plans focus on significant national priorities and ambitious reforms; are relevant to the values of transparency, accountability, and public participation; and contain specific, time-bound, and measurable commitments. Working with the Scottish Government, the network is working to develop the best possible process for the 2018 – 2020 OGP Action Plan to be delivered in an open, transparent and inclusive way, which delivers effective change.

Who can get involved

You do not need to be an expert – we are looking for interested and empassioned citizens, community groups and civil society organisations who want to have a say and offer their ideas on how government at a local, regional and national level could be done better and in a more open way. That applies for anyone interested in supporting the process of creating the action plan or contributing to the content.

Elric Honore (Fife Centre for Equalities), Andreas Pavlou (Involve)

Date  Wednesday 28th February 2018
Notes
  • The previous meeting held on 12th February was a bit of a brain dump - where do we get started with this? Helpful session to get it all down
  • When considering engagement, we need to look at those who will be impacted by OpenGov and those working in the areas with expertise (two strands)
  • Key piece of work to get right is around messaging - what do we want to achieve, what can open government achieve, why should people get involved - essentially a story around OGP in Scotland
  • Looking to hold a range of events across Scotland, but little capacity within the network and government to take this forward. Need to look at procuring services from facilitators so we can keep a handle on overall approach
  • Events would take place at the beginning of the process - potential to have a closing event that's more focused on pulling information together and creating specific committments.
  • Need to be respectful to people's input into previous action plan process - where did all that information go? Let's re-use as our starting point.
  • Online tools to be used to link up to any events, as well as during engagement process - Ideas (dialogue) one option. Chris to explore further with us when we have a clearer approach.
  • Vital we close the feedback loop
  • Further consideration needed of how Scotland will also feed into UK Open Government Action Plan.
Tasks
  • Write newsletter and joint blog
  • Create new wiki page and update with new content
  • Mapping on organisations and group that should be connected
  • Form the narrative around open government in Scotland - why?
  • Continue with planning for events - procurement process for hosts/faciliators
  • Set up meeting to review previous inputs during 2016 crowdsourcing
  • Review links to fairer Scotland online approach
Meeting ScotGov and Scot OGN planning session
Team Emma Harvey (ScotGov), Paul Bradley (SCVO)

  • Scottish Government currently recruiting additional staff for the OGP team in Government
  • Process for procuring independent facilitators for workshops will take place in May
  • Likely that bulk of activity will now take place towards end of May and June - timeline needs updating and confirmation of this needed
  • Network Coordinator needs to keep network members informed of changes to timeframes. Also need to set up planning session between Network's Action-Plan sub-group and Government
Tasks
  • Paul to circulate newsletter to network members to update on changes and next steps
  • Paul to reach out to Network's action plan sub-group to seek attendees for final planning session mid-may.

Enabling open government

Before we can act to create a more open government in Scotland, we need to work out the mechanism we can use to put our ideas into action.

Enabling commitments need to be short, sharp and realistic. Here are the proposals that have already been discussed:

  1. Commit to developing a framework to link together the Scottish Action plan for human rights, the Scottish Government's National Performance Framework and the UN Sustainable Development Goals so we can understand our international obligations and our performance.
  2. Commit to improving financial information and developing a framework for increasing transparency in the process of financial decisions making
  3. Commit to greater citizen participation – where people can shape their public services, collectively have more control over their lives and get involved in a movement to secure greater openness in decisions that affect them.
  4. Commit to implementing the Fairer Scotland action plan founded on dignity and respect to all people
  5. Commit to work in partnership with stakeholders and citizens to make it possible for 1% of local council budgets to be decided deliberatively by the people directly affected through participatory budgeting

Using open government

These are the sort of actions we can take using an open government where we can make a real difference in Scotland. The kinds of actions we may want to include in a future plan.

The list below follows the framework set by the UN Sustainable Development Goals to give an international perspective and links to issues that affect our everyday lives.
