The Action Plan is intended to serve as the instrument to orient the actions of stakeholders in Belize to accomplish certain open government commitments that are identified and agreed by government and non-government actors in different topics and/or sectors. Given the diverse challenges posed by COVID-19 in Belize, the exercise of developing Belize’s open government action plan seeks to contribute to defining priority areas in which open government could add more value or have a greater impact for COVID-19 related emergency response and/or recovery.

In the meantime, we remain available to organize private consultations with our Open Government experts if you are interested in being part of the process of the development of commitment proposals. It can be on one or more of the three topics presented during the launch (Economic recovery, Tourism, Health) or any other topic that you believe would be important to include in the Belize Open Government Action Plan. We added recently, for example, some commitments on the environment topic, as well as education and open data. You can register your interest in the following form: https://bit.ly/2P3qAbG.
