FACT SHEET: Marking Progress on the Second Anniversary of the Open Government Partnership

簡報：開放政府伙伴關系兩周年進展回顧

In September 2011, President Obama joined the leaders of seven other nations in announcing the launch of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) – a global effort to encourage transparent, effective, and accountable governance.

奧巴馬總統于2011年9月與其他7個國家的領導人共同宣布發起“開放政府伙伴關系”——一項鼓勵透明、有效、負責任的治理的全球性努力。

Two years later, OGP has grown to 60 countries that have made more than 1000 commitments to improve the governance of more than two billion people around the globe. OGP is now a global community of government reformers, civil society leaders, and business innovators working together to develop and implement ambitious open government reforms and advance good governance.

兩年來，“開放政府伙伴關系”已發展到包括60個國家，共作出1000多項改善對全球20多億人的管理的承諾。“開放政府伙伴關系”現已是一個政府改革家、公民社會領導人和商業創新人士共同努力制定并執行宏大的開放政府改革及推動良治的全球性社區。

The United States and its OGP partners have made significant progress on their initial commitments. For example, the United States launched the We the People petitions platform, allowing more than 10 million users to create more than 270,000 petitions on topics ranging from gun violence to foreign policy. Chile created online “one stop shops” for government services that have saved citizens 4 million hours in travel and wait time while also resulting in savings for the government. And Indonesia launched a program where citizens can report on anything from public officials requesting bribes to damaged bridges to teacher absenteeism from their cellphones and online.

美國及其“開放政府伙伴關系”的伙伴方已就其最初的承諾取得重大進展。例如，美國發起了“我們人民”請愿平臺，讓1000多萬用戶能夠提出超過27萬份涉及從槍支暴力到對外政策的種種議題的請愿。智利為政府服務項目創建了網上“一站式服務”，為公民節省了400萬小時的交通和等候時間，同時也為政府節約了資金。印度尼西亞啟動了一個項目，讓公民能在手機和網上舉報從政府官員索取賄賂到橋梁損壞及老師曠課等各種問題。

Today at the OGP summit in London, the United States announced a new U.S. Open Government National Action Plan that includes six ambitious new commitments that will advance these efforts even further. Those commitments include expanding open data, modernizing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), increasing fiscal transparency, increasing corporate transparency, advancing citizen engagement and empowerment, and more effectively managing public resources.

今天在倫敦舉行的“開放政府伙伴關系”峰會上，美國宣布了一項新的《美國開放政府全國行動計劃》，該計劃包括6項進一步推動這些工作的雄心勃勃的新承諾。這些承諾包括擴展開放數據、使《信息自由法》現代化、提高財政透明度、提高公司透明度、增進公民的參與和權能，以及更有效地管理公共資源。

Expand Open Data: Open Data fuels innovation that grows the economy and advances government transparency and accountability. Government data has been used by journalists to uncover variations in hospital billings, by citizens to learn more about the social services provided by charities in their communities, and by entrepreneurs building new software tools to help farmers plan and manage their crops. Building upon the successful implementation of open data commitments in the first U.S. National Action Plan, the new Plan will include commitments to make government data more accessible and useful for the public, such as reforming how Federal agencies manage government data as a strategic asset, launching a new version of Data.gov, and expanding agriculture and nutrition data to help farmers and communities.

擴展開放數據：開放數據能激發創新，從而帶動經濟增長并增進政府的透明度和問責。政府數據已被新聞記者用來揭露醫院收費不一的現象、被公民用來更多地了解自己社區中的慈善機構提供的社會服務，并被企業家用來開發新的軟件工具以幫助農民規劃和管理農作物。在成功落實第一項美國全國行動計劃中的開放數據承諾的基礎上，新計劃將包括使政府數據更便于公眾獲取而且更有用的承諾，如改革聯邦政府機構把政府數據作為一項戰略資產加以管理的方式，啟動新版的Data.gov，以及擴充農業和營養數據以幫助農民和社區。

Modernize the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA): The FOIA encourages accountability through transparency and represents a profound national commitment to open government principles. Improving FOIA administration is one of the most effective ways to make the U.S. Government more open and accountable. Today, the United States announced a series of commitments to further modernize FOIA processes, including launching a consolidated online FOIA service to improve customers’ experience and making training resources available to FOIA professionals and other Federal employees.

使《信息自由法》現代化：《信息自由法》鼓勵在透明度下實行問責，并反映出對開放政府原則的一項重大的國家承諾。改善《信息自由法》的管理是使美國政府更加開放及負責的最有效的方法之一。今天，美國宣布了進一步使《信息自由法》流程現代化的一系列承諾，其中包括推出一項統一的網上《信息自由法》服務以改善用戶的使用體驗，并讓《信息自由法》專業人員和其他聯邦雇員能夠獲得培訓資源。

Increase Fiscal Transparency: The Administration will further increase the transparency of where Federal tax dollars are spent by making federal spending data more easily available on USASpending.gov; facilitating the publication of currently unavailable procurement contract information; and enabling Americans to more easily identify who is receiving tax dollars, where those entities or individuals are located, and how much they receive.

提高財政透明度：本屆政府將進一步提高聯邦稅款使用情況的透明度，具體措施包括使聯邦支出數據在USASpending.gov網站上更容易獲取，促進目前尚未公開的采購合同信息的公開發布，并使美國人民能夠更容易地了解到誰收到了稅款、這些實體或個人位于何處以及他們收到的數額。

Increase Corporate Transparency: Preventing criminal organizations from concealing the true ownership and control of businesses they operate is a critical element in safeguarding U.S. and international financial markets, addressing tax avoidance, and combatting corruption in the United States and abroad. Today we committed to take further steps to enhance transparency of legal entities formed in the United States.

提高公司透明度：防止犯罪組織隱瞞其經營的公司企業的真正所有人和控制方是保護美國和國際金融市場、解決逃稅問題以及打擊美國國內外的腐敗行徑的一個關鍵環節。今天，我們承諾進一步采取措施，提高在美國成立的合法實體的透明度。

Advance Citizen Engagement and Empowerment: OGP was founded on the principle that an active and robust civil society is critical to open and accountable governance. In the next year, the Administration will intensify its efforts to roll back and prevent new restrictions on civil society around the world in partnership with other governments, multilateral institutions, the philanthropy community, the private sector, and civil society. This effort will focus on improving the legal and regulatory framework for civil society, promoting best practices for government-civil society collaboration, and conceiving of new and innovative ways to support civil society globally.

增進公民的參與和權能：“開放政府伙伴關系”建立在這樣的原則基礎之上：即一個活躍、強健的公民社會對實行開放和負責任的治理至關重要。在今后一年中，本屆政府將與其他政府、多邊機制、慈善社區、私營部門和公民社會結成合作伙伴，加大其取締并防止世界各地對公民社會施加新限制的努力，這項努力將注重于改進公民社會的法治和監管框架，推動政府-公民社會合作的最佳規范，并設想在全球支持公民社會的新穎和創新的途徑。

More Effectively Manage Public Resources: Two years ago, the Administration committed to ensuring that American taxpayers receive every dollar due for the extraction of the nation’s natural resources by committing to join the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). We continue to work toward achieving full EITI compliance in 2016. Additionally, the U.S. Government will disclose revenues on geothermal and renewable energy and discuss future disclosure of timber revenues.

更有效地管理公共資源：本屆政府在兩年前承諾加入《采礦業透明度行動計劃》，以確保美國納稅人收到開采我國自然資源所應繳納的每一美元。我們繼續努力爭取到2016年做到完全遵守《采礦業透明度行動計劃》。此外，美國政府將披露地熱和可再生能源的收益，并討論將來披露木材收入的問題。
