Hi everyone,

 

This just came in over a separate list from Keitha Booth, and I thought it might be of interest.  

 

 

Hon Chris Tremain, Minister of  Internal Affairs, has released the second annual report on agency adoption of the Declaration on Open and Transparent Government, following Cabinet approval on Monday 17 June.

 

He noted that  10 departments are now fully compliant with the Declaration and 16 plan to take it on board in 2013/14  and that the findings show the re-use of significant public information is providing new business opportunities.

 

Here are links:

Best wishes,
