The six-member committee, sworn in on November 13, 2024, will be responsible for handling appeals related to access to information requests. The committee’s decisions will be final, ensuring a robust and transparent process.
The establishment of this committee reinforces the AfDB’s commitment to open governance and responsible information management. It provides a mechanism for individuals to seek redress if their requests for information are denied.
By strengthening its transparency framework, the AfDB aims to foster trust and accountability, both internally and externally. This move aligns with the Bank’s mission to promote economic development and social progress in Africa.
