The African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development (Centre LSD) under its project “Deepening Transparency and Accountability in the governance process through the implementation of Open Government Partnership in Nigeria” with support from MacArthur Foundation, will on 22nd November 2022 kickstart training on the open government partnership (OGP) in Gombe state.
A press statement by the Program Coordinator of Centre LSD, Mr. Lawal Amodu, stated that the training which is targeted at 50 state and 40 non state actors in the state, and will culminate into the development of the State Action Plan, is meant to bring the State and non state actors up to speed on the understanding of the OGP principles to facilitate a smooth implementation of the state action plan.
He added that the Open Government Partnership is hinged on the principles of Co-creation, which necessitates that government and civil society actors work together on the best strategy(ies) to bring development to the people, with the state government driving the process.
Gombe state is amongst the latest to sign up to the OGP in Nigeria with the intent to making governance open, transparent, and accountable. Today a total of 24 states have signed up to the OGP which is governed by four key principles: Transparency, Accountability, Citizens Participation and Technology and Innovation.
The statement enjoined well-meaning citizens to engage the Centre LSD OGP Project through the various social media channels:
