Fourth National Action Plan Co-Creation Infographic

Consistent with the Open Government Partnership (OGP) co-creation minimum standards, the forum has agreed on a co-creation process that sets out how the commitments under the NAP4 will be collaboratively designed between government, civil society and other key stakeholders. The co‑creation timeline includes opportunities for public engagement throughout the process.

The infographic sets out the co-creation process and timeline.
