Brazil has a significant history of social participation and transparency policies. One of the eight founding countries of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), Brazil is currently implementing its sixth national open government action plan. In addition to the federal government, various actors (including local governments, civil society organizations, and researchers) have been working on the open government agenda for over a decade. However, at the 2022 Open Americas Global Summit, a powerful core group of civil society members, academics, and government representatives formed, and upon returning to Brazil, began meeting and managing a collaborative space.
