Vice President Ahmed Afif chairs the meeting of the Seychelles National Multi-stakeholder Committee in line with the Open Government Partnership initiative

Seychelles has established a new multi-stakeholder committee to coordinate its second National Action Plan for the Open Government Partnership. This body aims to foster inclusive, transparent, and accountable governance by actively involving civil society in the co-creation of reforms. The committee’s role extends beyond mere compliance, focusing on monitoring implementation and supporting innovative openness initiatives. By facilitating peer learning and resource mobilization, the group seeks to drive substantive democratic improvements that resonate with global standards for participatory government. This development is relevant to open data as it underscores the critical need for collaborative frameworks to ensure transparency and public engagement. Strong multi-stakeholder participation is essential for designing policies that effectively utilize data to enhance accountability and empower citizens within the broader open government ecosystem.
