Citizens’ rights to access government information

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

This legislation aims to expand and reinforce the transparency of public activity, regulate and guarantee the right of access to information related to that activity, and establish the good governance obligations that must be fulfilled by people who exercise public responsibility.
