Federal Chancellery (BK) Open Government Deutschland: Second National Action Plan 2019 – 2021 – Full Version

“Open government” means being open to new ideas and responses; listening, explaining and educating; approaching one another with sincerity; and practising accountability – these must be part of our culture of governance and administration. That is the essence of the Second National Action Plan. Participation, transparency and collaboration are cornerstones of our democracy and are essential for a harmonious society. And the numerous and complex challenges of our time especially warrant common efforts and an innovative approach to seeking solutions.
