WHAT IS OPEN GOVERNMENT? |
"Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government." - President Obama, 01/21/09 Transparency. Participation. Collaboration. You've heard the buzz, but really... what is open government? In a nutshell, it is the principle in a democracy which holds that government is more effective when it shares information, gets ideas from the public, and collaborates with organizations and citizens to get things done.
