What problem does the commitment aim to address?

Access to public information is one of the fundamental principles of open government. The right of access to administrative documents guarantees citizens the right to request and receive information about administrative activity.

There are difficulties on the part of public services in terms of applying the Law on Access to Administrative Documents (LADA). Reality that has an impact on the implementation of the law.

This commitment aims to promote the training of public service managers and workers on the access regime to administrative documents.

What are the causes of the problem?

Lack of knowledge of the Law on Access to Administrative Documents. Applicability to a large universe of Local and Central Administration.

What results do we want to achieve by implementing this commitment?

This commitment is an important step towards the development of open government in Portugal. It will improve compliance with the law (active transparency and passive transparency) and increase the number of Persons Responsible for Access to Information (RAI).
