[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 8th that it is recruiting participating organizations to plan and operate subcommittee meetings for civil society organizations, companies, and public institutions that will participate in the Open Government Partnership (OGP) Global Summit held in Seoul in December as the 11th chair country of the Open Government Partnership.


The open recruitment period is from September 9 to October 7, and any interested organizations or groups such as civil society organizations, public institutions, international organizations, companies, and schools can participate.


The subcommittee meeting topics are divided into three areas: strengthening the citizen sector and public participation, inclusive digital innovation, and anti-corruption. Organizations and groups can autonomously plan and operate the meetings, including detailed discussion topics, discussion methods, and participants related to the themes.


The Open Government Partnership is an international public-private consultative body composed of member country governments and international civil society, launched in 2011 to promote government transparency and citizen participation based on cooperation between governments and civil society.



Cho Sang-myung, Director of Government Innovation Planning, said, “Through active participation of civil society centered on the Open Government Committee throughout all stages from planning to operation of the OGP Global Summit, we will realize the purpose of OGP to spread and implement the values of open government.” He added, “Starting with this recruitment, we hope that organizations and groups, including civil society organizations, will take an interest in open government and actively participate.”
