About Us
informacjapubliczna.org is the on-line resource centre on access to public information in Poland (and sometimes outside) created in 2006 by the Citizens Network Watchdog Poland.
In one place it collects articles, analyses, information on legal framework in Poland or internationally and provides practical information on how to use the right to know.
The users are co-creators of the website content. They can add articles and information on their experience, inform on their complaint submitted to a court, invite people to attend hearing and they can comment the articles that are presented. They also co-funded the new design of the website. The list of individual donors is available on the website.
Thanks to the expert consulting by the Akces Lab – Social Cooperative the website i also accessible for persons with disabilities.
