OGP SC presented updated recommendations for the Government of Azerbaijan

On June 28, 2017, the OGP Steering Committee resolved to extend Azerbaijan’s inactivity status for one year, due to unresolved constraints on the civic space for civil society organizations. The Steering Committee further mandated the Criteria and Standards Subcommittee (C&S), in consultation with Economic Research Center and other civil society organizations, as well as government, to develop an updated set of recommendations to improve the unresolved issues by September 15, 2017. 

On September 25, 2017, OGP SC has been presented updated recommendations for the Government of Azerbaijan.  The Government of Azerbaijan will have one year, beginning on September 25, 2017, to address these recommendations to regain active status in the Partnership.
