Córdoba moves forward in designing a new access-to-information law

We took part in the working committee that is designing a draft law on access to public information for Córdoba. The initiative is part of the province’s 2nd Open Government Plan and seeks to update the regulations in force since 1999.

Last Thursday, November 13, we participated in the working committee tasked with drafting a bill on access to public information for the province of Córdoba.

This initiative is one of the commitments undertaken by the Secretariat for Open Government of the Ministry of Government of the Province of Córdoba within the framework of the 2nd Open Government Plan of the province before the Open Government Partnership (OGP). This Plan was co-designed between May and September 2024 with the participation of the Universities and Civil Society Organizations Roundtable, which includes Fundeps.

We welcome the fact that the province of Córdoba is moving forward with the design of new regulations to update Law 8,803 of 1999 on Access to Knowledge of State Acts. The current regulation requires several modifications to raise standards and guarantee this right for all citizens. It is also essential to establish institutional mechanisms that allow for its effective exercise.

Drawing on our experience and expertise, we will continue contributing to the construction of a bill that meets current demands and standards regarding access to public information and government transparency.
