This paper covers four key areas of regulatory governance where open government and GIRG data collection align: accessing laws and regulations, transparency of rulemaking, public consultations, and challenging regulations (see Table i for more information about these categories). There are of course other areas of regulatory governance that this paper does not address, such as impact assessments and ex-post reviews. This paper includes all 78 OGP countries but does not analyze commitments made by local OGP members given the national-level focus of the GIRG project.
