Information
is vital for empowerment of the citizens. The need for access to information
acquires greater significance in view of the crisis of governance in the
country, which is largely due to the lack of transparency in public policies.
Therefore, CRCP devised an integrated Campaign for the Freedom of Information
in Pakistan (FOI-Pakistan) January 2000. In this regard, adopting a proactive
approach, CRCP team started roundtable meetings and consultative meetings
with various stake-holders. These activities were followed by the drafting
of a Model Information Act from citizens' perspective. The draft was later
presented before the two-day National Consultation for extensive deliberation
on the various provisions of the law. A large number of experts including
representatives of political parties, government officials, journalists,
civil society activists, lawyers, former parliamentarians and academics
participated in these consultations and meetings.
