La Alianza para el Gobierno Abierto y Anticorrupción en conservación: Plantillas para la Acción

The document argues that conservationists have underutilized the Open Government Partnership (OGP) as a platform for achieving conservation priorities. It provides three specific templates for OGP commitments: beneficial ownership transparency to reduce deforestation, integrity in wildlife law enforcement, and participatory governance for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The guide explains how to identify problems, propose solutions, and define verifiable results within the OGP's multisectoral forum and independent review mechanism.

• The Open Government Partnership (OGP) provides a mechanism to prevent 'open washing' by requiring governments to develop action plans through mandatory, open, and collaborative multisectoral forums (MSF), with progress monitored by an Independent Review Mechanism (IRM).
• Beneficial Ownership Transparency (BOT) is identified as a foundational step to prevent corruption-driven deforestation, as it allows authorities to identify the actual owners of companies that may use shell companies to hide illegal logging or land grabbing.
• Wildlife crimes are often facilitated by corruption during both the initial act and the subsequent investigation; the document suggests that collaboration between government agencies and civil society is one of the most effective ways to reduce these risks.
• Many Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are ineffective 'lines on a map' due to corruption, rent-seeking, and weak institutional functioning; the proposed solution is collaborative management and participatory governance involving local indigenous and coastal communities.
• The Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI) collaborates with the OGP to reduce corruption and illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing by requiring countries to publish laws, policies, and foreign fishing access agreements.
• The guide lists several countries that have already implemented OGP commitments related to the environment, such as Brazil (environmental license transparency), Colombia (environmental information system), and Uruguay (centralized environmental complaints system).
