From the ED's Desk | Why Jamaica's Access to Information Act Needs a Review

During Right to Know Week, JFJ Executive Director Mickel Jackson explains why the Access to Information Act, passed in 2002 and never amended, is overdue for a review. Jamaicans have a constitutional right to seek, receive and disseminate information, and a statutory right under the ATI Act. But a lot has changed since the last review process in 2011, and many public authorities are still missing the mark. Get informed. Get in the know. An informed public is how we hold government accountable and build evidence-based discourse.
