OGP IRM National Researchers
The Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) is seeking individuals to carry out research at the national level in a variety of countries to assess government progress on implementation of their OGP Action Plans.
The IRM is a key means by which all stakeholders can monitor progress within participating countries. By tracking and publicizing progress, it promotes strong accountability between member governments and citizens.
The IRM works primarily by conducting independent assessments and reporting for each OGP participating government. Each national progress report assesses the development and implementation of action plans, and develops technical recommendations.
Candidates from the following YES countries are invited to apply: North Macedonia and Sierra Leone.
Participation for this opportunity goes from Jul.05.20 to Jul.05.20.
The Open Government Partnership is a multilateral initiative that aims to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance.
