This trip follows a meeting earlier this year with a delegation of officials from the Liberian government at OIP’s office in Washington, DC. As part of this meeting, also sponsored by the Carter Center, the delegation participated in a full day program on the FOIA conducted by OIP subject matter experts. The meeting included discussions on a variety of topics such as an overview of the FOIA, the fundamentals of processing FOIA requests, and a review of the administrative appeals process.
Director Pustay’s trip this week stems from OIP’s core mission of encouraging federal agency compliance with the FOIA here in the United States. OIP leadership and subject matter experts routinely meet with delegations from foreign governments and international organizations on the administration of the FOIA and the importance of information access laws. A comprehensive listing of the events that OIP leadership and subject matter experts participate in throughout the year is available on the Key Dates page of our site.Topic(s):
