RTI Act Bangladesh

'Rights to Information Act, 2009’ is the only act in Bangladesh which clarifies basic citizen rights, which can be used to ensure government’s accountability and transparency. Basically, the Rights to Information Act, 2009 was formulated to curb corruption and establish good governance in both government and non-government organizations.

In order to increase the awareness of this law as well as its usage, the Information Commission started this mobile application program. This application is created by Dnet (http://dnet.org.bd/) and the assistance was provided by Manusher Jonno Foundation. The overall distribution of the application will be administered by Access to Information (A2i) Programme. Essentially, this application is created to augment social accountability and Rights to Information Act, 2009. Moreover, the idea behind this application is that people from all walks of life can learn about this law in an easy and pleasant manner and that to initiate people’s interest towards this field.
