My presentation at Bocconi University on engaged citizens, lobbies and transparency. This covers OGP, Freedom of Access, transparency of political funding, Italy's limitations and tech platforms for empowering citizens.
3. The goal of the Open Government
Partnership is to get governments
to make (and carry out) concrete
commitments that promote
transparency, empower citizens,
fight corruption,
and harness new technologies
to strengthen governance

49. FOREWORD
• In 2011 the Italian governement joined the Open
Government Partnership (OGP), an international
initiative aimed at promoting transparency of
governements through the active participation of
stakeholders, from citizens to professional
associations and companies.
• In April 2012, Italy published an action plan followed
by a public consultation and presented it at the first
OGP meeting in Brasilia on April 17 and 18.

50. FOREWORD
• This report summarizes the analysis conducted by an
independent group of experts and engaged some of
the most relevant civil society organizations active
in Italy on open gov areas.
• The working group defined a common methodology
and framework and divided the Italian 2012 action
plan for the Open Government Partnership in
thematic areas. The group then assessed the plan’s
clarity and its level of implementation.

51. METHODOLOGY
The action plan’s evaluation
• To evaluate Italy’s OGP action plan - in line with what has been done by Global
Integrity - we adopted the S.M.A.R.T. model based on Specific, Measurable, Actionable,
Relevant and Time-bound indicators. We applied the five indicators to the action plan’s
individual points and checked them against the following questions:
– Specific: is the goal clearly described?
– Measurable: are the elements necessary for measuring implementation or
advancement of that action clearly identified?
– Attainable: are the means for attaining the goal clearly described?
– Relevant: is the goal relevant in the overall framework of the OGP policies
defined by the country?
– Time-bound: have deadlines or timeframes been defined for attaining the
identified goals?
• A YES/NO answer has been given to each element of the model.

57. Anticipazione
i problemi dell’action plan italiano
1. fatto senza consultazione pubblica
2. l'Italia non ha identificato un forum della società civile con cui avrebbe dovuto
fare consultazioni specifiche e regolari su action plan e implementazione.
3. mancanza di committment specifici. Solo dove c’erano già azioni fatte (es.io
OpenCoesione).
Di fatto emerge:
A. la mancanza di una vera e propria agenda sull'OpenGov in Italia
B. OpenGov è interpretato come una policy marginale degli open data
