Access to Information Programme presented the annual awards to Freedom of Information Champions in Bulgaria to mark the 20^th Right to Know Day/Access to Information Day – 28 September 2022.

28 September is the day when the Freedom of Information Advocates Network was established in 2002 at a litigation conference held in Sofia, Bulgaria. The AIP is one of the founders and active member of the FOIAnet and since then has been taking an active part in the FOIAnet initiatives, including the celebration of the Right to Know Day.

The Access to Information Programme (AIP) opened the Call for Nominations for the Right to Know Day Awards Ceremony to be held online on September 28, 2022 in Bulgaria. The Right to Know Day is the strongest tool in the AIP campaign for encouraging the exercise of the right to information and pushing for enhanced government transparency and accountability.
