The Multisectoral Open Government Forum was created by a presidential decree on January 2020 as a body within the Peruvian executive branch that aims to carry out the objectives of the Open Government Action Plan. This new body is conformed by various representatives of the national Ministers, representatives of regional and local governments, members of the national civil society, representatives of local civil society, a representative of the private sector and a representative of the academic sector. The Forum occupies the role of the previously established Open Government Multisectoral Commission (2013 ? 2019). The Forum will present to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers the priorities and commitments regarding the Open Government Action Plan, as well as the methodology and mechanisms in order to formulate and implement them. They will further monitor the implementation and formulate reports that evaluate the progress. The Forum can also come up with entirely new proposals for mechanisms, tools and initiatives in the realm of open government.
