The UK Open Government National Action Plan 2016-18 (NAP) is the plan setting out the UK government's commitments on transparency, anti-corruption and open government which was announced by Matt Hancock, MP, Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General on 12 May 2016 at the London Anti-Corruption Summit.
The plan makes 13 commitments:
For each commitment, the government has stated an ambition, a lead implementing organization and a timeline.
All countries participating in the Open Government Partnership are expected to co-create a National Action Plan with their civil society organisations. Open Government Partnership guidance states that "action plans should cover a two-year period and consist of a set of commitments that advance transparency, accountability, participation and/or technological innovation".
Following the summit, another nine countries, including Mexico, agreed to apply the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) to specific major projects. The UK will also lead on plans to create a new Anti-Corruption Innovation Hub with Mexico, France, Ghana, Georgia, Switzerland, Afghanistan, UAE, Indonesia and Norway.
