These statistics indicate an increasing public awareness of their rights regarding access to information and transparency in the performance of government agencies.

To date, more than 3,300 public and private entities have joined this system, allowing citizens to submit and track their requests without any cost.
Oversight of the implementation of this law is the responsibility of an inter-branch commission based in the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, aimed at ensuring the right to free access to information and creating specific oversight mechanisms. This commission continues its activities with the goal of increasing transparency and accountability in government agencies.
