Our mission

The Delaware Coalition for Open Government is committed to promoting and defending the people’s right to transparency and accountability in government. We serve as a resource through education and advocacy, and we work to strengthen Delaware’s Freedom of Information Act and its application.

The liberties of people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.
— Patrick Henry, June 5, 1788

How Delaware Created
Its Inspector General

The Delaware Coalition for Open Government fought for the establishment of a Delaware Office of the Inspector General for years. In 2025, that office became a reality. Learn how this critical oversight office will promote transparency, accountability, and public trust in our government.
