Being the result of an intense work of collaboration between Government and Civil Society, this document mirrors the endeavors taken in order to construct the country’s commitments in the scope of the Open Government Partnership, at the same time it depicts the actions that will be undertaken in the upcoming two years, with the intent to strengthen the principles of transparency, citizen participation, innovation and accountability. Those principles, advocated by the OGP, which is an international initiative integrated by 70 countries and of which Brazil is a co-founder, have been the subject of very careful observance. In that matter, a set of legal and administrative changes have transformed public management in the country in order to shift paradigms and expand the communication and relationship between government and society. Following that rationale, not only does this publication aim at announcing the 16 commitments made by Brazil before the OGP and allowing for a more effective follow-up and monitoring action, but it also comes to present how the construction of each commitment was conducted and to show the innovative initiatives that guided the whole work. Among those distinctive actions, I cannot failto highlight the constitution of the Civil Society’s Working Group, formed by 7 organizations chosen by their peers through a public call, which embodies a tireless partner and loyal guarantor of citizens’ close look over all the process; the building of an unprecedented methodology that is specifically designed for this task; and the success in carrying out the co-creation workshops, which are work meetings that came to be one of the most relevant activities in the construction process of Brazil’s Third National Action Plan. Apart from that, it is mandatory to thank the partnering of the several governmental bodies, manifested in the presence and proactive stance of their representatives, who have been side-by-side with us in this path to overcome limitations and mobilize resources, so that we could thrive in the project that can take us to a more open State. Finally, the few pages of this publication do not reflect the gigantic endeavor taken by the government and civil society to build up the commitments described here, not even the priority that the Ministry of Transparency, Oversight and Comptroller-General gives to the matter. 3 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan I hope that the outcomes be accomplished soon and that a few years ahead, when we are to conclude the assessment of this Plan, we can be once again full of this feeling of achievement that moves us now. Torquato Lorena Jardim Ministry of Transparency, Oversight and Comptroller-General 4 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan I. INTRODUCTION Brazil has taken part in the Open Government Partnership since its foundation, in September 2011. Currently, together with 69 other nations, the country holds the commitment of strengthening practices related with transparency in government operations, preventing and curbing corruption, improving public services delivery and fostering social participation and access to public information. Those democratic principles serve as the pillars of open government and, based on them, the Third National Action Plan has been developed. Primarily, with the intent to present a historical snapshot, this document brings facts which are key for understanding the work that led to the drafting of prior plans, plotting a description of the first initiatives adopted by the country concerning the matter, drawing attention to success, limitations and lessons learned. Thereafter, in order to give the reader an overview of the process that led us to reach the commitments of Open Government taken by Brazil for the two years to come, the work’s guiding actions are described, in an objective manner, bringing out the initiatives that ensure the observance of OGP guidelines, the methodology that drove the conduction of the co- creation workshops, the measures taken to comply with the IRM’s recommendations, as well as the actions planned for carrying out the monitoring and assessment by the government and society. In all, following the model suggested by the OGP Headquarters, this publication provides the descriptive charts for each commitment and emphasizes its objectives, milestones of action, timelines and lead implementing organizations. We hope that the information disclosed here be useful to broaden the knowledge on Open Government and to safeguard the follow-up on commitment implementation in an optimal and fruitful way. 5 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan II. CONTEXTUALIZATION “Open Government” relates to a new approach of Public Administration, which promotes projects and actions aiming at strengthening transparency, fighting corruption, empowering civil participation and developing new technologies that lead governments to be more accountable for their operations and more prepared to meet citizens’ needs. The concept of open government demands that governments institute substantial changes to transform and disseminate a new management model, in which the citizen leaves the passive role of customer and starts to be a partner in the public policy making process. Reference must be then made to the construction of a new relationship between citizens and the State, based on the collaboration to find solutions for complex issues, which comes out as a new paradigm for public administration. The will to build up a new reality in this track started to shape up in 2011, when eight countries – Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Norway, South Africa, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States – founded the Open Government Partnership. This international initiative seeks to globally disseminate and encourage governmental practices related to government transparency, access to public information and social participation. As a founder member, already in 2011, Brazil carried out a series of legal and administrative advances which made great difference in the country’s public management. The first initiatives came along the launching of the First National Action Plan, which set forth 32 commitments on open government to be implemented within 2 years. Among the implemented actions, we must point out: the Federal System for Access to Information, which provided the Federal Government with a proper room for implementing the Access to Information Act (LAI), the restructuring of the Portal of Transparency, the establishment of the National Open Data Infrastructure (INDA) and the Brazilian Portal of Open Data. In 2013, the Second National Action Plan was launched. In an attempt to remedy the errors and mistakes which came up during the drafting of the previous plan, one of the main concerns, at the time, was foster a greater engagement of government and civil society. Thus, besides the joint work with other government bodies, the constitution of new mechanisms for participation and the holding of virtual and live events and meetings, the CGU created a working group with the Government Secretary of the Presidency of the Republic and other 10 civil society organizations to discuss propositions and actions on open government. As an outcome of it, 19 Federal Government bodies entered into a plan which comprised 52 commitments, among which we should highlight: the enhancement on data transparency of the National Consumer 6 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan Defense System (SINDEC), the Transparent Brazil Program, the joint construction of the Federal System of Ombudsmen’s Offices, the opening of the Union´s budget execution data, the government procurements, the provision of government systems information in open data format and the inauguration of the OGP site in Brazil, which can be reached at http://www.governoaberto.cgu.gov.br. In that matter, taking the Partnership’s principles and guidelines into account, Brazil succeeded in developing, throughout the last years, several initiatives on open government, some of them already consolidated and widely used by citizens. Additionally, there have been some initiatives on open government that had significant effect on government and society; they did not integrate the Second National Action Plan, though. They are:  Corporate Liability Law (Law no. 12846/2013) – known as the Anti- CorruptionLaw, it is about making corporate entities accountable for harmful acts against the Brazilian or foreign governments. It represents a regulatory advancement in corruption combating and preventing within the State.  Conflict of Interests Act (Law no. 12813/2013) – it ponders situations, where potential conflicts may arise, during the time a public official holds a position of management at the Executive Federal branch, or even after that.  Brazil Transparency Range – this is a methodology also developed by the CGU, which measures public data transparency in governments of states and municipalities, with the purpose of assessing their degree of compliance with the Access to Information Act (LAI).  National Policy for Social Participation (PNPS) – the Decree no. 8243/2014 has instituted the National Policy for Social Participation (PNPS) and the National System of Social Participation (SNPS, with the intent of strengthening and promoting democratic means and mechanisms of dialogue, beyond a joint action between federal public administration and civil society.  National Network of Laboratories of Technology (NETWORK-LAB) – established in September 2014, the NETWORK-LAB is a structure that comprises laboratories of technology working against money laundering. Its main feature is the sharing of practices, procedures, solutions and outcomes associated to financial data analysis and money laundering, and the detection of corruption and related offenses.  e-OUV – an integrated channel for routing citizens’ complaints to agencies and bodies of the Federal Executive Branch, which gathers information from all federal ombudsmen’s offices. Complaints are presented through active transparency on the website www.ouvidorias.gov.br, with a view to ensuring citizens can also monitorgovernment accountability. 7 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan  Open Data Policy of the Federal Executive Branch – the Decree no. 8777/2016 has established rules for data release within the bodies of the Federal Executive Branch. The aim of this policy is to promote an expansion of the focus on transparency, which should not be restricted to fighting corruption and controlling public expenses, but could also take into account how the expense has occurred as well as other helpful information for monitoring and evaluating public policies. It should be observed that the implementation of the Policy will happen by means of an Open Data Plan,in the scope of each and every body or entity of the Federal Public Administration, being itpart of direct or indirect administration, a state company or foundation.  Dialogue Brazil – Dialogue Brazil (dialoga.gov.br) consists of a virtual space for participation, where citizens’ suggestions may turn into propositions to help improve government policies. There, civil society can also learn more about federal programs, submit suggestions for the development of new programs and the betterment of the ones that are already available. In 2016, a new stage of work had just begun: the drafting of the Third National Action Plan. Stemmed from a new common ground between government and civil society, this document seeks to ground the means to implement the commitments embodied with a transforming potential, reinforcing the Open Government initiatives in Brazil even more. The Third Plan comprises 16 commitments, which have been designed and discussed by 105 people, out of whom 57 are civil society representatives and 48 are government officials (in federal, state and municipal levels). Besides that, through an innovative method, not only did the Plan count on the participation of sub-national entities, who discussed the topic “Fostering Open Government in States and Municipalities”, but it also had the contributions from the Legislative and Judiciary Branches. The exchange of experiences amplified the view and the scope of work and also allowed for setting more ambitious actions. III. HOW THE OGP IN BRAZIL WORKS

1. Open Government Interministerial Committee – CIGA With the intent to enable the collaborative construction process of the national action plans, as stated by the OGP, the Open Government Interministerial Committee – CIGA was constituted on September 15, 2011, being a decision-making body in charge of guiding the action plans drafting and implementation. Although there is an expectation around reviewing its management model, mainly to meet civil society’s demands, the CIGA is currently composed by eighteen ministries and it also 8 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan has an Executive Group – GE-CIGA, which monitors and assesses the implementation of the Action Plan.

2. Executive Group of the Open Government Interministerial Committee – GE-CIGA The GE-CIGA is an Executive Group that provides the Open Government Interministerial Committee with support for carrying out its duties. Its core objectives are: i) draft the proposition of the Open Government National Action Plan and submit it for consideration of the CIGA; ii) plan, execute and coordinate the consultation processes related with the Plan; and iii) coordinate the Plan’s implementation and execution. The following bodies constitute the Executive Group:  Ministry of Transparency, Oversight and Comptroller-General of Brazil  Chief of Staff of the Presidency of the Republic  Government Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic  Ministry of Finance  Ministry of Planning, Development and Management  Ministry of External Relations and  Ministry of Justice and Citizenship Besides taking part in the GE-CIGA, the CGU is the Group’s coordinator body and provides administrative support and the necessary means for the execution of the group work.

3. The National Action Plan As aforementioned, the actions concerning the OGP are conducted in compliance with a “National Action Plan”. The action plans are built by the countries themselves, based on the areas in which they should develop. Accordingly, in contrast to other international organizations, in the context of the OGP each participating country specifies what its commitments are and traces strategies and activities to make them come true. The action plans are to be implemented in the period of up to two years. Throughout this time, governs need to annually release a self-assessment report on the execution of the commitments taken. 9 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan Countries also go through an assessment by the Independent Report Mechanism – IRM. This mechanism chiefly works by means of publishing independent assessment reports, which are two: one is called Midterm Report and the other Final Report. They serve the purpose of monitoring the execution of the action plan, and they are produced by an independent international consultant and aim at assessing the implementation of commitments and the evolution on the compliance of Open Government principles, besides presenting technical recommendations. Yet, it is essential to stress that the action plans generate indirect outcomes, boosting the adoption of other measures besides those already defined as commitments, in the scope of the OGP. In the case of Brazil, for instance, several legal measures, communication channels, networks and portals have been created to promote transparency, accountability, innovation and citizen participation.

4. The Commitments Commitments are actions held by a country within an Action Plan. Commitments shall be specific, measurable, relevant, answerable and time-bound. Besides that, they must be in accordance with the Open Government principles defined by the OGP. There is no prescribed way to establish commitments. Nonetheless, the core guideline is that they should be set by civil society and government in a joint action, in a way the actors from these two fields are involved not only during the construction process, but also in the execution, monitoring and assessment of what has been agreed. IV. INNOVATION ON THE THIRD NATIONAL ACTION PLAN CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

1. Civil Society’s Advisory Working Group to GE-CIGA Civil Society Organizations have engaged the OGP since its foundation, in 2011. Beforehand, however, they had already been involved with defending the principles which guide the Partnership: transparency, accountability and innovation, aside from furthering activities and processes aimed at bettering the interaction between government and civil society. A well- succeeded example of this action was the great mobilization that the organizations held before 10 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan and after the Access to Information Act’s enactment, in order to spot the importance of the law, spread the word about the initiative and follow up with its advances. Subsequently, complying with the IRM’s recommendation that suggested that the country involved civil society in a broader manner in the processes of drafting, execution, monitoring and assessment of action plans, Brazil carried out a series of measures related specifically with the increase of social participation in the scope of the activities concerning the OGP. This way, in addition to undertaking events and an intense work for disseminating the concepts and the importance of Open Government policies and the OGP’s principles before society, attention must be called to the constitution of the Civil Society’s Advisory Working Group on Open Government through Resolution nº 1, of November 18, 2014. Also known as Civil Society’s WG, this group had its selection ruled by the Public Call nº 1/2015, through which civil society’s entities themselves could choose their representatives. The procedure for choosing the seven GT members had wide dissemination and selection took place in three different phases: registration, qualification and poll. At the time of election, civil society entities that had registered and qualified could vote and be voted. At the end of the process, representatives from the following entities were elected: Civil Society’s Entities:  Observatório Social de Brasília – OSB  Instituto de Estudos Socioeconômicos – Inesc  Rede pela Transparência e Participação Social – Retps  Instituto de Manejo e Certificação Florestal e Agrícola – Imaflora  Open Knowledge Foundation Brasil Academia Entity:  Colaboratório de Desenvolvimento e Participação – COLAB/USP Entity Representing Workers:  União Geral dos Trabalhadores - UGT Working side-by-side, with no hierarchical levels, the WG’s organizations voice their ideas in a collaborative process and make decisions jointly, still recognizing the importance of exchanging experience with other civil society’s entities and citizens, in an attempt to broaden transparency and the quality of information available and related with the OGP and Open Government. The Civil Society’s WG also owns the objective of advising the Executive Group in shaping policies and guidelines concerning the Federal Executive Branch’s performance the Open Government Partnership. 11 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan Furthermore, the WG follows up the implementation of the commitments belonging to the national action plans. Among its attributions, we shall point out:  to suggest themes for the drafting of commitments for composing Open Government national action plans, in accordance with the OGP guidelines;  to indicate or suggest mechanisms for improving the social participation process, in the context of the Federal Executive Branch within the OGP;  To speak up about the self-assessment report, annually made by the Federal Government, on the implementation of commitments integrating the Open Government national action plans.

2. The Methodology The Third National Action Plan construction process was undertaken according to an unprecedented and innovative methodology which was built by the GE-CIGA and the Civil Society’s WG. Compliant with the methodology, the discussion of challenges and the definition of commitments should happen by holding co-creation workshops, that is, meetings counting on parity participation of experts from government and civil society in preset themes. The methodology envisaged three work phases: i) Phase for Setting Themes; ii) Co- creation Phase; and iii) Phase for Approving of the Plan. The chart below diagrammatically summarizes the three phases of the applied methodology: I . Setting Themes 2 . Co-creation 3 . Plan Workshops approval I.I Structuring Themes 2.1 Indication of participants to 3.2 National attend the Action Plan I.2 Themes pertaining to workshops government’s priorities 2.2 Challenge discussion I.3 Themes prioritized by civil society 3.1 Final approval 1.3.1 Public 1.3.2 1.3.3 2.3 Definition of consultation Results Priorization compilation of themes commitments 12 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan The phase for Setting Themes comprises the stage for selecting the key issues related to Open Government policies, which are divided in three categories: i) structuring, ii) government’s priorities, and iii) civil society’s priorities. As for them, the only methodological prerequisite was that all propositions should be connected with the Open Government principles, as follows: citizen participation, transparency, accountability and innovation. The structuring themes concerned issues which, as for their nature, could maximize Open Government policies in Brazil. The three working areas chosen by the GE-CIGA and Civil Society’s WG to join this group incorporated the access to information policy, as well as open data and the innovation issue for the betterment of public management and services. The themes pertaining to government’s priorities were found to be those of strategic importance for the Federal Government. After a great interaction with the Executive Branch bodies, 5 issues were prioritized: public service assessment, open data and information governance on health, open government for culture, public service streamline, and prevention to mean, inhuman or humiliating treatments in the penitentiary system. Finally, the themes prioritized by civil society were selected through public consultation. At first, the process opened room for the suggestion of any issue that society would consider important to be dealt with by means of Open Government policies. After contributions had been gathered into a list, they were put through to the consideration of the Civil Society’s WG, which displayed the themes for public consultation once more, at this time for polling. After 14 days, and accounting for 678 votes, the 5 themes prioritized by civil society were: citizen participation mechanisms, transparency of public funds, fostering open government in states and municipalities, innovation and open government in education, and open data and active transparency in environment issues. Furthermore, after this starting process for setting themes, the Legislative Branch decided to take part in the drafting of the Third National Action Plan and submitted the theme “Open Innovation and Transparency in the Legislative” Top 5 Themes Description Number of Votes Citizen participation Consolidation, improvement mechanisms and expansion of citizen 143 participation mechanisms Transparency of public Enhancement of active funds transparency mechanisms 140 13 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan over Federal Public Administration funds.

Innovation and open Technological support and government in education educational resources for improving 132 instruction/learning Open data and active Fostering open data transparency in disclosure and upgrading environment active transparency 131 mechanisms related to environmental area. Additionally, it is important to point out that the themes have been worked in a way to ensure compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), set forth by United Nations’ new agenda on development, entitled 2030Agenda, having significant parallels with the 17 goals and with its 169 targets. Among all the goals of the 2030 Agenda, it is mandatory to highlight the Goal 16, which seeks to “promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable institutions at all levels”. This goal, more notably through its targets 16.6 (Develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels), 16.7 (Ensure responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels) and 16.10 (Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements), holds close bonds with the Open Government principles. 14 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan

3. Co-creation Workshops From April through October of 2016, 27 co-creation workshops were carried out. Those meetings materialized the collaborative work between government and society and allowed for a wide-ranging debate among experts at each of the prioritized themes. The co-creation workshops were jointly led by the WG and the GE-CIGA, and each theme was developed in two different steps: the first one refers to the discussion on the challenges and the second for setting the commitments. Thus, at the end of the second step, each group had already set a national commitment on the theme, the lead organizations in charge of implementation and execution, as well as timelines, actions and milestones for the monitoring process. As highlighted above, 105 people attended the co-creation workshops, out of which 48 represented the government (from federal, state and municipal levels) and 57 represented the civil society, which included people from the academia and the private sector, as suggested by the OGP. Following this track, a special care was taken in order to have participants of different groups and profiles, taking into consideration gender and territoriality, for instance. The undertaking of the co-creation workshops aimed at conciliate the watchful and rewarding eye of civil society’s representatives and the technical and legal eye of those actors who live the reality of the state administrative machinery to set commitments for this Third National Action Plan. In sum, it was intended that the process could overcome both the models that use simple public consultation to civil society on documents exclusively drafted by the government and those which fix government’s approval of propositions originated in civil society’s exclusive fora. Still, it is worth mentioning that the indication of participants to attend the workshops was made by consensus of the WG and the GE-CIGA. Each group was composed by an average of 5 representatives of the government and 5 of civil society. Besides that, with the intent of guaranteeing maximum transparency and allowing for the follow-up of debates, the minutes of each workshop were made available to the public just hours after the meetings had been closed. Eventually, to validate the meetings’ collaborative work, all the propositions of the secured commitments were made available for public consultation and submitted for consideration of the WG and the GE-CIGA. With a close look at those guidelines, it was possible to set commitments which keep the core characteristics demanded by the OGP, that is: they are voluntary and based on the engagement of government and civil society. 15 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan The chart below presents the workshop themes and the commitments set in each of them, brought together in major axes: Axes Themes Commitments Identify and implement mechanism for recognizing solvable or mitigable Open Data on the Federal problems, upon the data presented Government by the government, which meets expectations from requesters and providers.

Deploy the Electronic Judicial Transparency and Innovation in the Judiciary Proceedings at the Electoral Court. It is worth pointing out that the commitment held by the Superior Electoral Court was drafted in a manner different from the others; however, it established core actions for the consolidation of Open Government policies in the country. Detailed information on each commitment, including the description of what led to its drafting, milestones, timelines and led government institution are brought attached to this document. V. REMARKS ABOUT THE THIRD NATIONAL ACTION PLAN Brazil, as an OGP’s founder member, follows an international schedule to draft and implement its Action Plans. As for the Third Plan, the first period set for the document construction comprised the months from January to June of 2016 and it would be valid from July 2016 through July 2018. At the end of the first and in the beginning of the second semester of this year, Brazil faced many political events, which led to the change in the Presidency of the Republic. Not only 18 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan did the government’s replacement resulted in a longer delay in the time for making decisions, but it also brought modifications to the technical personnel composition in several bodies, which slowed down the interaction between actors that were directly involved in drafting the Plan. All these facts together put the work behind the schedule, which did not mean cancellation or nullity of the process. As already mentioned, the Third National Action Plan comprises 16 commitments, which have been constructed through a close partnership between government and civil society. Each of them reflects the main claims concerning the prioritized themes and indicates which actions related to Open Government will be implemented to advance the matter. Among the issues that should be highlighted and recognized, we shall point out, for the first time since the beginning of Brazil’s work within the OGP, the participation of the Legislative and Judiciary Powers in a national action plan construction process. Concerning the Legislative Branch, the commitment undertaken has involved the House of Representatives, the Federal Senate, state and municipal legislative houses, and civil society entities which are connected with parliament issues. In the case of the Judiciary Brach, participation took place through the Superior Electoral Court – TSE, which contributed for drafting the Plan in a sui generis way, for the fact that this partnership has been unprecedented. The Court has included a pioneer and important commitment in the Plan at the time it envisages the implantation of the Electronic Judicial Proceedings in all Regional Electoral Courts of the country until December 2017. While lowering the risks of document losses, this initiative seeks to increase transparency over proceedings and generate benefits related with processing time. Another significant advance observed in the Third National Action Plan was the straight engagement of sub-national entities in the discussions and construction of commitments. States’ and municipalities’ participations diversified the Plan’s perspectives and ramifications and it also allowed for a wider reach and legitimacy.

1. Overview of the Commitments Open Data on the Federal Government Commitment 1: Identify and implement mechanism for recognizing solvable or mitigable problems, upon the data presented by the government, which meets expectations from requesters and providers. 19 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan To raise government and society participation in discussions, in order to assure a bonding between open data requested from citizens and what is offered by the State, taking into account not only data, but IT tools as well and suitable ways of making information available. In order to implement this initiative, the commitment envisages Carrying out communication activities aimed at society mobilization and sensitization, and making use of institutional channels for personal and virtual discussions about the theme.

The commitment aims to have the classified documents list, rated by the agencies, as transparent as possible, and also to provide methodological guidelines for qualitative evaluation of answers given by those bodies. Agenda 2030 Goal: 16.10 - Develop Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements. Commitment 4: Ensure requester’s personal information safeguard, whenever necessary, by means of adjustments in procedures and information access channels. The commitment seeks to contribute for the safeguard of the access to information requester´s personal data, whenever there is an identity disclosure, which may provoke a 20 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan differentiated treatment. It also intends to carry out legal studies and international comparisons, so that it can open room for a public information requesting model which may be compatible with the current law and that may disclose only the least necessary information about requesters, with the intent of guaranteeing neutrality while disclosing information. Agenda 2030 Goal: 16.10 - Develop Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements. Effectiveness of National Policy for Social Participation Mechanisms Commitment 5: Integrate online tools on a single platform, in order to consolidate/strengthen the Social Participation System (SPS). The commitment essentially aims at Defining ways of implementing initiatives, which are able of developing the current social participation paradigm. For that, it is necessary to foster free digital technology use and transparency tools, integrated to social participation mechanisms used in concrete government actions and focused on citizens’ needs. Agenda 2030 Goal: 16.6 - Develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels; and 16.7 - Ensure responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels. Digital Educational Resources Commitment 6: Establish a new model for assessing, purchasing, fostering and distributing Digital Educational Resources (RED), in the context of digital culture. The commitment seeks to incorporate the potential of digital culture into the educational policy, in order to foster the use of digital educational resources. In this context, the commitment built aims to overcome difficulties related to the lack of infrastructure, teachers´ training, content making and digital resources, with the goal of having a new RED model for evaluation, acquisition, development and distribution. Agenda 2030 Goal: 4 - Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning. Open Data and Information Governance in Health Commitment 7: Make available answers to requests for access to information, registered over the last 4 years, on an active transparency platform and increase the number of indicators and data of the Strategic Management Support Room (SAGE), being under civil society oversight.

ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING The new methodology that guided the Third National Action Plan established that the Brazilian commitment assessment and monitoring process will be made jointly between government and civil society, represented by the WG members and by the entities that took part in building the commitments. The CGU will provide logistics support to ensure that those processes happen, as well as it will be in charge of giving more transparency to discussion and commitment results. Taking this perspective into account, and aiming at establishing control points that allow for carrying out a precise and dynamic monitoring, there was the starting point for defining milestones, timelines and led organizations in charge of carrying out core actions for implementing each commitment. The OGP’s Executive Secretariat believes that this measure will make possible an effective and regular monitoring which will allow for government’s and civil society’s proactive actions, as soon as difficulties are identified from any body or entity while executing core actions to accomplish the commitment set. VII. PROSPECTS AND CONCLUSIONS Brazil’s Third National Action Plan drafting has been marked by a significant methodological change, if compared to prior plans, and it ensured the construction of more dynamic and objective commitments, as well as the improvement of collaboration between government and civil society. 25 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan This new way of working is an outcome of the apprenticeship gained throughout the last years and also represents the country’s efforts to fully meet the recommendations received from the Independent Report Mechanism – IRM, with the intent of complying with the excellence standards established by the OGP. In this context, as for the commitments comprised by the prior Action Plans, several Open Government initiatives have been fully implemented and consolidated in Brazil, among which we shall spotlight the enhancement of social participation, the provision of active transparency structure and the effective service rendered by governmental bodies to the Access to Information Act demands. Além disso, é importante ressaltar que o País tem avançado também na implementação de ações que extrapolam os compromissos firmados no âmbito da OGP e que impactam sensivelmente não só a sociedade, mas o próprio governo. Besides that, it is mandatory to point out that the country has also moved forward in implementing actions which go beyond the commitments set in the scope of the OGP and that have great impact on society and on the government itself. On the other hand, it is clear that the country still needs to advance in the construction of more effective social participation mechanisms, as well as in the promotion of actions that foster transparency and innovation for improving, inter alia, accountability procedures and data opening. In the light of what has been presented in this document, it is undeniable that there is still a lot to do and many challenges to overcome, concerning the means for achieving an opener, more accountable and more transparent State. The work, however, is done bearing in mind the certainty that this reality is possible to come true. 26 Brazil’s Third Open Government National Action Plan ATTACHMENTS The charts below detail the 16 commitments undertaken by the Brazilian government in the scope of the Third National Action Plan.
