As a result of various struggles over the past two decades, the Right to Information Act was eventually implemented in Sri Lanka in year 2017. Accordingly, the Right to Information Act No. 12 of 2016 provides the public with the opportunity to obtain information on a wide range of subjects from public authorities in a transparent procedure. The Sri Lanka Press Institute undertakes to conduct an annual survey to identify the sensitivity of Public Authorities to such information requests made by the public. This website is a platform through which you can easily access the survey data.
