Transparency, collaboration and participation with all stakeholders are essential to successful engagement with and service provided to the public. The Open Gov Initiative charged us to transform how government interacts with the public to be more open, transparent & collaborative. With your help, we issued our Open Gov Plan earlier this year, but the work doesn’t end there.
As we implement programs and strategies, increase opportunities for participation and collaboration, we want to continue the discussion and seek input and feedback through this platform. We welcome you to continue sharing ideas and brainstorming on key issues, policies or initiatives.
This site is separated into two major sections for idea-sharing and discussion. Take a look below and decide how you’d like to participate – or take part in both!
This space allows you to learn about and comment on USDA information such as datasets, records, reports & other resources. We intend to pose questions on emerging and developing policies, programs or initiatives to seek input and feedback. Your thoughts will provide us with a better understanding of the needs and priorities of our stakeholders that we hope will lead to a more effective and responsive government.
We'll post our information. You join the discussion. Start here.
This space allows you to post your own ideas about transparency, participation, collaboration & innovation. You can also submit comments or vote on other’s ideas. Your participation will help us provide better service and be a more innovative & efficient government agency.
