Background
In November 2015, UNESCO adopted a resolution (38 C/70) declaring September 28 of every year as International Day for Universal Access to Information (IDUAI).
2019
This year UNESCO is commemorating the International Day for Universal Access to Information with a series of ‘Open Talks’. Al the global level, an Open Talk event will be held in Lima, Peru. See the video on Facebook. Regional events will be held in Asia and the Pacific and Latin America.
In celebration of the fourth international Day for Universal Access to Information, Zimbabwe will join the rest of the world to commemorate International Day for Universal Access to Information (IDUAI) on the 27th of September under the global theme: Access to Information: Leaving no one behind. The event was held at Marondera in Rudhaka Stadium, in a public forum event.
