Chapter 1: The State of Access to Information and Development in the United Nations 2030 Agenda

This chapter introduces a set of indicators that will make it possible to track global and regional changes in development and access to information. Using these indicators, the chapter describes the state of access to information as of 2015 in four sections, each of which correspond to a dimension of the DA2I framework: infrastructure, the social context of use, capabilities, and the legal and policy landscape. The chapter also includes a discussion of measurement gaps that must be addressed in order to improve international monitoring and paint a clearer picture of progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals targets.
