Analysis of the Access to Information Bill 2019, The Gambia, July 2019
This Analysis evaluates a draft Access to Information Bill pending in The Gambia. Positively, the Bill earns a high score of 116 on the RTI Rating. If enacted, it would place 16th out of the 124 countries assessed by the RTI Rating. Although this is overall a high score, the Bill could be further improved by a strengthened guarantee of the right to access, more user-friendly and comprehensive request procedures, more effective promotional measures and removal of the Minister’s power to expand the exceptions regime.
The CLD Analysis is available at Gambia Access to Information Analysis and the Bill is available at Gambia Access to Information Bill.
