The Government’s Strategic Action Plan (SAP) 2019 – 2023 provides a detailed development agenda across five priority areas for the administration headed by President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. Each priority area includes several targets, strategies, and actions, in addition to a timeline and a list of implementing agencies.

Priority area 5: Good Governance lists a host of pledges directly related to increased transparency and access to information. The first of these actions monitored were listed in Subsection 5.4: Accountable State which outlined policies to improve parliamentary oversight and law-making.

Under Strategy 1.2 to increase transparency in parliamentary deliberations and processes, Action 1.2a is to Adopt Open Data policy for all parliamentary information in order to increase transparency of parliamentary processes and procedure (including plenary deliberations and committee meetings) to enable greater access and participation by the public and media.
