The Trump administration has released the fourth National Action Plan for Open Government outlining the federal government’s objectives to establish “openness†over the next two years. NAP4 is committing to efforts such as ensuring the availability of federal government data, making grant procedures more accountable and providing access to federally funded scientific research.
Other objectives were detailed in the action plan, including the development of a federal data strategy, improving workforce and employment-related information, creating agency-level chief data officers, leveraging open data to streamline healthcare operations and implementing enterprise objectives for Intelligence Community missions.
The strategy also seeks to foster public participation to develop national action plans for the future. According to NAP4, the U.S. government will prioritize the establishment of public and civil organization partnerships to “implement these objectives and deliver meaningful results for the American people.â€
