The program aims to increase the efficiency of participants in implementing procedures for enforcing the Law on the Guarantee of the Right to Access Information, and to familiarize them with the mechanisms related to handling information access requests, in addition to developing their skills in preserving, organizing, and archiving documents, which supports institutional performance efficiency and enhances the principles of transparency and accountability.
The program's activities began with a lecture presented by Dr. Nahla Al-Momani, which addressed the nature of the right to access information, the legislation governing it, and its legal frameworks, while Mr. Yahya Shuqair reviewed best practices in this field, highlighting the procedures and practices that contribute to enhancing information availability and handling it according to approved legal frameworks.
Ms. Hilda Ajeilat also addressed the role of institutionalizing information in promoting the principles of governance, transparency, and disclosure, and the importance of establishing concepts of sound information management within government institutions, which reflects positively on the quality of services and the efficiency of institutional performance.
The program continues for six days, consisting of three days of theoretical training and three days of practical application, allowing participants to enhance their legislative knowledge and develop their skills in document management, information archiving, and implementing procedures for enforcing the Law on the Guarantee of the Right to Access Information.
The program gains additional importance as the training programs implemented by the National Library Department in this field reach their 100th edition, highlighting the continuity of efforts aimed at developing information and document management, and promoting institutional practices that support transparency and facilitate access to information in public institutions.
