Hungary has joined the Open Government Partnership (OGP), an international initiative launched in September 2011 with a view to increasing transparency of government activities and fighting corruption.

France Maude, the British politician who chaired OGP’s London session, welcomed Hungary among the members of the partnership. The government, which had launched the most intensive anti-graft campaign of the past 20 years, decided to join the OGP last year and defined its commitments in an action plan. The government pledged to increase the transparency of fiscal data, public procurements, the use of public property and the spending of taxpayers’ money.
