for general operating support The Open Government Partnership is a multistakeholder initiative with more than 75 national and 100 local government members that aims to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, and fight corruption. Over the past two years, the partnership expanded its subnational program from a pilot cohort of 15 local governments to over 100, which will result in more than 500 concrete policy reforms. They continued their "Break the Roles" campaign to center gender in the governance commitments of member governments, and launched a new campaign advocating for "Open 
Response + Open Recovery" as member governments respond to COVID-19. During this grant period, the partnership will celebrate its 10-year anniversary with a global campaign to renew democracy. A two-year developmental evaluation will conclude with key lessons about the partnership’s contribution to specific federal and subnational policy reforms in Colombia, Ukraine, Kenya, and the Philippines.

for general operating support CIDAC is widely considered one of the most influential independent research centers in Latin America. The Center’s researchers have been engaged in several critical economic and political debates in the past two decades, and its recommendations have changed not only public policy, but in some notable cases, the terms of debate. As a result of a review in strategy, CIDAC redefined its principal program areas to better respond to current challenges in Mexico, among them transparency, accountability, rule of law, and economic growth. Although this recommendation is for institutional support, CIDAC plans to invest a substantial portion of Hewlett GOS funding in its transparency and accountability program as it maps out institutional design flaws and bodies of regulations that inhibit law enforcement and greater accountability along the budget delivery chain. CIDAC research and advocacy builds upon the work done by IMCO and Global Integrity in Mexico (also on this docket).
