OGE’s newly released five-year Strategic Plan reflects commitment to our important mission of preventing conflicts of interest in the executive branch. Government leaders and employees take actions and make decisions every day that affect the wellbeing of citizens and people around the world. It is critical to our democracy that we have a strong ethics program so that the people trust that government decisions are made based on the public interest rather than one’s personal interests. Uniformity, accountability, continuity, and citizen engagement are central to a strong ethics program.
To that end, OGE commits to the important strategic goals of:
- Advancing a strong, uniform executive branch ethics program;
- Holding the executive branch accountable for carrying out an effective ethics program;
- Contributing to the continuity of senior leadership in the executive branch; and
- Engaging the public in overseeing government integrity.
Ensuring the impartiality of executive branch decision-making and enabling the public’s trust in its government is imperative and a shared responsibility vital to our democracy. OGE looks forward to working with all of its stakeholders to make progress on these important goals.
