摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of leadership and political will towards successful implementation of an access to information (ATI) legislation. Design/methodology/approach - The paper adopted a mixed methods approach with a bias towards a quantitative survey, complemented by a qualitative follow-up and triangulation during data collection. A complement of theoretical models underpinned the paper, thus enhancing understanding of the multifaceted phenomenon of ATI. Findings - The paper revealed that the state has demonstrated leadership and political will for ATI by developing government-wide records management manual for public entities; developing an ATI implementation action plan and availing resources for ATI. However, there is need to review laws that perpetuate secrecy; formulate regulations to operationalize the Act and allocate adequate finances for ATI activities. Research limitations/implications - The paper focused on assessing the extent of leadership and political will on the executive arm of the government excluding the Judiciary and the legislature. Practical implications - The paper proposes an ATI implementation roadmap, which can be adopted by other countries with comparable contexts. Social implications - The proposed action plan if adopted will result in an informed citizenry that understands and leverages ATI to claim their socio-economic rights. Originality/value - The paper provides empirical evidence on some aspects of leadership such as the ministries with ATI policy; level of engagement of policy-makers in ATI matters and the availability of resources for ATI. Further, the paper adopted a multidisciplinary approach by including the concept of 'meaningful engagement' whose theoretical foundation is in law to the concept of access to information.
机译:目的-本文的目的是证明领导力和政治意愿对成功实施信息获取(ATI)立法的重要性。设计/方法/方法-本文采用混合方法,偏向于定量调查,并在数据收集过程中进行了定性跟踪和三角测量。理论模型的补充是本文的基础,从而增强了对ATI多方面现象的理解。调查结果-该文件显示,国家通过为公共实体制定政府范围的记录管理手册,显示出对ATI的领导和政治意愿;制定ATI实施行动计划并为ATI利用资源。但是,有必要审查永久保密的法律。制定法规以实施该法案,并为ATI活动分配足够的资金。研究的局限性/含意-本文着重于评估除司法机构和立法机关以外的政府行政部门的领导和政治意愿的程度。实际意义-本文提出了ATI实施路线图,其他具有类似背景的国家也可以采用该路线图。社会影响-拟议的行动计划如获得采纳,将导致一个知情的公民了解并利用ATI主张其社会经济权利。原创性/价值-本文提供了有关领导力某些方面的经验证据,例如采用ATI政策的政府部门;决策者对ATI事务的参与程度以及ATI的资源可用性。此外,本文采用了多学科方法,包括了“有意义的参与”概念,其理论基础在法律上是信息获取概念的基础。
