International Access to Information Day - 28th Sept 2020
International Access to Information Day (‘IAID 2020’), also known as Right to Know Day, is held on 28 September every year and recognises the community’s right to access government-held information. IAID 2020 explores the theme: Building trust through transparency.
The 74th United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 28 September as the International Day for Universal Access to Information (IDUAI) in October 2019.
It is a global week long celebration raising awareness of the importance of open government, and the public’s right to access government-held information ensuring transparency and accountability in policy making, administrative decision making and government service delivery.
