The Open Government Act aims to improve the transparency and openness of the public administration, and to make sure that all relevant documents are accessible to all. Public sector information will be more compatible and easier to find and access digitally by citizens, the media, and other relevant actors.
Important in this act is that all administrative bodies are connected to a digital infrastructure that is overseen by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. In the coming years, an additional 1,000 public organizations will be linked to this infrastructure. The information, as defined by the law, will then be digitally available in a place that is accessible for the public.
The new act came into force on 1 May 2022. Its implementation is staged, and the connection of all public organizations will take place in the coming years.
