Composition
The Philippines’ strong commitment to the open government principles is supported and driven by a group of reformers, innovators, and advocates governed by a multi-stakeholder forum (MSF) called the Steering Committee. The PH-OGP Steering Committee is composed of equal representation of government and non-government members who are responsible for strategic and tactical planning, stakeholder engagement and communications, and oversight of the undertakings of the Partnership, particularly in the design and implementation of the PH-OGP National Action Plan (NAP).
The Steering Committee is composed of ten (10) members each from government and non-government.
| GOVERNMENT | NON-GOVERNMENT |

|
The government members of the PH-OGP Steering Committee are permanent while the non-government representatives are selected through an election process at the end of every action plan cycle.
The PH-OGP Steering Committee members identify their official representative to the multi-stakeholder forum who will be designated to take part in domestic and/or international engagements and make decisions on matters affecting the Partnership. Members of the Steering Committee assign:
- Permanent/Primary Representative or the head of the member government agencies and equivalent rank/designate for the non-government organization;
- Alternate Representative or the senior official designate who can be an Undersecretary or Assistant Secretary for government agencies and equivalent rank/designate of the non-government organization; and
- Second Alternate Representative or director for government agencies and equivalent rank/designate for the non-government organization, as applicable.
