| Summary: | This paper provides a summary of data
about requests and appeals published by central reporting
bodies in eight countries. It was prepared for the World
Bank as part of a larger study on the implementation of
right to information (RTI) laws. It examines available RTI
data about requests and appeals from the most recent year of
aggregated data—ranging between 2011 and 2013. It does not
evaluate subnational data. It assessed these statistics for
Brazil, India, Jordan, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand, The
United Kingdom, and the United States. Through this
assessment it provides trends in how countries are
collecting and publishing these data. Statistics were
retrieved from annual reports and through online portals.
Online portals were used for Brazil, Mexico, and the United
States. The types of data collected include: volume of
requests and rate of responses, types of requesters, type of
information requested, agencies receiving requests, use of
exemptions, appeals and complaints, and sanctions. |
