The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) is in the early stages of drafting its 2026-2030 Strategic Plan (Plan) and is holding a public meeting to seek initial input.

March 3, 2025


OGE seeks input on the three questions below which will inform the new Plan. 

1. Public Trust: Given that OGE does not have an investigatory or enforcement role, what are ways that OGE can do to build public confidence in government decision-making?  

2. Awareness: Given the size of OGE, approximately 75 people, and limited budgetary resources, what are ways OGE can improve understanding about the systems in place to detect conflicts of interest and raise the visibility of OGE as an agency and the executive branch ethics program as a whole?  

3. Priorities: Given the size of OGE, approximately 75 people, and limited budgetary resources, which aspects of its work should OGE emphasize in its plan? (Objectives from the last Strategic Plan can be found in this document: https://www.oge.gov/​web/​OGE.nsf/​0/​BA2F0B0F1DC11D1485258813006160B8/​$FILE/​U.S.%20OGE%202022-2026%20Strategic%20Plan%20(website).pdf.)
