Open Government Partnership – Tunisie Just another WordPress site
Tunisia participated in the 2025 OGP Africa and Middle East Regional Meeting, held on March 25, 26, and 27, 2025, in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This event brought together representatives from governments and civil society organizations across African, Middle Eastern, and North African countries to exchange experiences and strengthen cooperation between governments and NGOs active in this field.
The meeting was held under the theme “Rebuilding Trust Through Open Government“, with a focus on several key topics such as innovation, digital governance, the role of emerging technologies, including AI, in improving public services; open data and its reuse; financial transparency and anti-corruption; environmental action, legislative transparency, access to information, and open government. These topics were addressed through case studies and practical experiences shared by participating countries.
The Tunisian delegation took part in numerous meetings and workshops organized during the event, most notably the “Regional Ministerial Roundtable”, which provided a high-level dialogue platform on advancing open government reforms, ensuring long-term political commitment, and allocating resources to support initiatives in this area. This session was opened by Mr. Musalia Mudavadi, Prime Cabinet Secretary and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kenya, and was attended by Mr. Aidan Eyakuze, Executive Director of the OGP. Ministers and heads of delegations had the opportunity to present the progress made in their respective countries and share future commitments to uphold open government principles and practices.
Tunisia also participated in a dedicated meeting for countries involved in the “Support Program for Open Government in Francophone African Countries – PAGOF2”, aimed at discussing progress, challenges, and future opportunities to enhance open government principles across Francophone African countries. A summary of key achievements and current activities under this program at the national level was presented.
