Simplification and Open Government Agenda: Friends or Foes?

How can governments simplify rules without weakening transparency and accountability? This webinar, organized by the Open Government Partnership (OGP) as part of the Europe Dialogue series, explores how simplification reforms can work together with open government principles across Europe. A growing number of governments are advancing “simplification agendas” to reduce red tape, improve public service delivery, and rebuild public trust in institutions. However, there is a fine line between simplification and deregulation. Recent debates in the United States and the European Union have raised concerns that some reforms could risk lowering transparency, accountability, and opportunities for public participation. This discussion brings together experiences from OGP members to examine how simplification and open government can reinforce each other. Speakers share practical examples of how transparency, digitalization, open data, and public participation can support more effective and citizen-centred reforms. In this webinar, you will learn: • Key trends in simplification reforms across Europe • Practical examples of what works — and what doesn’t • How open government tools can strengthen simplification efforts 🔔 Subscribe to follow the Europe Dialogue series and stay updated on open government discussions across Europe.
