The Open Democracy Advice Centre (ODAC) in conjunction with key stakeholders of government, private sector, academia and civil society launched the Open Democracy Charter. The Charter is aimed at generating a declaration of access to information principles.
ODAC has identified key areas which would stimulate the discussion on best practices and the way forward on forging a truly open and transparent democratic South Africa. It is as a result of this that ODAC called for papers from stakeholders.
Call for papers on the following:
- Ten years of Access to Information in South Africa: The challenges of effective implementation of PAIA and the experiences of its usage so far
- Using Access to Information to enforce Socio Economic Rights in South Africa
- Access to Information as a tool in combating Corruption in Public and Private Institutions in South Africa
- Compliance with PAIA by the Private Sector in South Africa
- PAIA and the Personal Information Bill: The challenges of a joint commission to protect and disseminate information
- PAIA through the Courts: case law and important developments
- Ten years of Whistle blowing Protection in South Africa: A review of the past and lessons for the future
