It is the fourth such National Action Plan (NAP), the first having been published in September 2011.
Participant countries in the Open Government Partnership are expected to co-create a two-year National Action Plan with their civil society organisations.
There are separate commitments for the UK devolved administrations: the Scottish Government,[3] Northern Ireland Executive and Welsh Government.

Previous UK NAPs had been published by the Cabinet Office.
