Panama's Open Government Commission 2015-2017
The Open Government Commission 2015-2017 is an institution created to monitor compliance with commitments the government made in the second National Action Plan for Open Government; deliberate on how to improve the plan?s implementation and design new strategies and actions within that framework to foster Open Government. In the Commission participated the National Authority for Transparency and Access to Information (ANTAI), the National Authority for Government Innovation (AIG), the Ministry of the Presidency, the Foundation Generación Sin Límites (FGSL), the Independent Movement for Panama (MOVIN) and the Organization I am Afro-Panamanian (Span. Afropanameño Soy). With the input of the Open Government Commission, the National Authority for Transparency prepared oversight reports that evaluate the degree of compliance with the plan's commitments and sent them to the Commission in order to receive its comments. Despite its initial purpose, some of the goals set by the institution (such as the creation of an Open Government website) were not achieved within the stipulated period and the Commission devoted itself to collaborating in the creation of the next National Action Plan for Open Government instead of setting the focus on monitoring tasks.
