Open Government Directive

The Open Government Initiative lays out the Obama Administration plan to usher in a new era of open and accountable government that will bridge the gap between the American people and their government. The core values of this initiative are:

• Transparency: Government should provide citizens with information about what their government is doing so that government can be held accountable.
• Participation:  Government should actively solicit expertise from outside Washington so that it makes policies with the benefit of the best information.
• Collaboration: Government officials should work together with one another and with citizens as part of doing their job of solving national problems.
