About Us

Our Work
We engage advocates from across the globe and from multiple work disciplines to advance the rule of law.
Our latest paper, Open Government and Freedom of Information: Advancing the Global Conversation, provides new contextual information for our recently-released WJP Open Government Index. The piece is intended to be helpful to potential users—including the freedom of information community—to appreciate both the strengths and limitations of this new tool. Topics covered include the process of developing the WJP Open Government Index, challenges in defining open government, assessing freedom of information awareness, raw data vs. a comprehensive system of indicators, using open government indicators for policy reform, and more.
