The Philippines is one of the founding members of the Open Government Partnership, a unique international initiative aimed at securing concrete commitments from government to promote transparency, increase civic participation, fight corruption, and harness new technologies that strengthen governance.
On May 2016, the Participatory Governance Cluster (PGC) was created by virtue of Executive Order No. 24. The Cluster is co-chaired by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
