2018 Freedom Of Information Compliance Ranking

In the course of our activities, the Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC) has relied on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 2011 to request for public expenditure information from several public institutions. This has led us to develop and release an annual compliance ranking survey across public institutions using the provisions of the FOI Act.

These rankings which commenced in 2013, assesses the level of compliance of public institutions with the benchmark of citizens access to public expenditure information contained in the Freedom of Information Act(FOIA), 2011. Kindly find last year’s rankings on http://procurementmonitor.org/foi-ranking/home/ranking

The Public and Private Development Centre is a citizen sector organisation that seeks to promote increased citizens participation in governance in a way that supports improved integrity in public sector governance especially related to procurement governance and performance. We were responsible for the inclusion of clauses within the Public Procurement Act 2007 that required citizen’s participation in procurement processes and over the years, we have trained and mobilized various groups and individuals to observe and report on the Public Procurement process.
