Jordanian Workshop on Access to Information
The article focused on documenting the efforts of the Jordanian Kingdom in strengthening the right to access information and enhancing transparency, particularly through the issuance of laws and initiatives that emphasize the importance of access to data and information as a national resource and a tool for monitoring institutional performance and advancing society. The seminar, organized by the National Library Directorate and the Jordanian Center for Transparency, reviewed legislative and executive efforts to ensure the practice of this right, including the issuance of the Right to Access Information Law No. 47 of 2007 and its amendment in 2024, the development of an information indexing and classification system, as well as capacity building for employees and increasing community awareness about the right to knowledge. Speakers also highlighted the significance of this right in promoting transparency, integrity, and accountability, especially in light of technological and artificial intelligence developments that have increased the importance of data availability and access as a fundamental basis for sustainable development and institutional and societal modernization.
