Access to public information is a prerequisite for a democratic society. Authorities and government institutions need to be transparent for decision-makers and officials to be held accountable for their actions and decisions. In many European countries, however, there is a decline in which authorities and public bodies are becoming increasingly closed. These risks are creating a breeding ground for corruption and an inefficient, bureaucratic state apparatus.

In this project, mySociety seeks to contribute to increased access to public information and thus promote democracy in Europe through collaboration, capacity building and reform.
