The 2018 OGP Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting is hosted by the Government of the Republic of Korea in collaboration with Korean civil society focusing on the themes of promoting participatory democracy, improving governance for a better life for all, and renewing public trust through government innovation.

Civil Society Day is the principal gathering of civil society leaders and representatives from across the Asia-Pacific region working on the open government agenda. The overarching objective of Civil Society Day is to provide the community with the time and space to connect, learn, strategize, and forge collaborations to boost our collective impact and build on discussions held at the OGP Global Summit in Tbilisi, Georgia earlier this year.

The event is designed to be a practical how-to for addressing current challenges and emerging priorities for civil society organizations working on OGP and open government in the region.
