Open governments are built on two things: information and participation. A government that is open actively discloses information about what it does with its money and resources in a way that all citizens can understand. Equally important, an open government is one that actively involves all citizens ... in government decision-making. 2, record 1, English, - open%20government

gouvernement transparent : Lorsqu'on fait référence au «gouvernement ouvert», on ne parle pas uniquement de transparence au sein de l'appareil gouvernemental. En effet, un gouvernement ouvert a aussi pour objectif de favoriser la participation citoyenne, la collaboration et l'innovation. Le terme «gouvernement transparent» est donc trop restrictif. 4, record 1, French, - gouvernement%20ouvert
