Open Government Working Group
The Open Government Working Group was created by the Uruguayan state in 2011 as the body in charge of the design of Open Government Plans, from its incorporation into the Open Government Partnership.

For the 2013-2014 Open Government Action Plan, the integration of the working group with representatives of the University of the Republic (UdelaR), the Center for Archives and Access to Information (CAINFO), of the National Association of Organizations is expanded.

Subsequently, with Decree No. 357 in November 2016, the composition of the Working Group is formalized, and further includes representatives of the Judicial and Legislative Power, the Open Government Network, and other individual representatives from organized civil society. Its goals and faculties are regulated in the same decree, among which are: preparing Action Plans, monitoring the fulfillment of goals, and supporting the dissemination of open government.
