*Description:*
The Open Government Partnership has grown to 64 member countries since its
launch in 2011. New action plans have been drafted with increasing interest
in the open legislative agenda. As a result the Legislative Openness
Working Group (LOWG) was launched at the end of 2013. Among other
objectives the LOWG aims to provide a forum for peer knowledge sharing,
develop tools and resources to address legislative openness issues,
identify areas for research and opportunities for partnerships and
technical assistance.

In this session, the co-anchors of the Legislative Openness Working Group
will provide an update on the activities of the group since its launch last
year, including inter-parliamentary exchanges, the launch of the Global
Legislative Openness Survey, and participation at regional OGP events
throughout the year. In addition, speakers will present information on the
upcoming Global Legislative Openness Week (GLOW), which will comprise
events hosted by parliaments and civil society organizations around the
world, focused on legislative openness. In addition the LOWG member from
Mexico will discuss the launch of the national Open Parliament Partnership
and a new bicameral commission on transparency in the Congress of Mexico.
