The Freedom of Information Unit (FOIU) was established in 2001 to administer the Freedom of Information Act, Chapter 22:02 (“FOIA”). Its main mandate is to educate, train, monitor and evaluate public authorities and members of the public in respect of their rights and/or obligations under the Freedom of Information Act. The FOIU also has the responsibility for the implementation and facilitation of the Data Protection Act (2011), until such time as the administrative machinery is established in respect of the Office of the Information Commissioner, given that this Act will have strategic linkages to the FOIA and will operate to amend certain provisions of the FOIA.
