Ensure that costs associated with meeting access to information obligations are covered within the agency’s annual budget. Other Information:
Access to information legislation represents a considerable cost for government, as it demands personnel, resources and actions
in order to properly fulfill all ATI obligations and duties. Every agency needs to assess its specific budgetary needs to
fulfill all ATI obligations and duties determining the cost of personnel, infrastructure, equipment, training, internal and
external awareness raising campaigns, etc. Such allocation needs to be done systematically in order to ensure that all costs
and amounts associated with meeting access to information obligations are covered within the agency’s annual budget.
