Open Governance, Right to Information

CGPA believes that ensuring citizens’ right to access information, as enshrined in the constitution of Pakistan and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is the key to public accountability, realization of strong democratic institutions, and inclusive development. The legal framework for ensuring right to information (RTI) is very weak in Pakistan. CGPA seeks to promote right to information in Pakistan through;

• Policy research and advocacy for effective right to information laws
• Civil society capacity building and networking
• Strengthening demand for RTI through awareness raising
