| Recordkeeping for good Governance Toolkit |
This workshop will introduce the Recordkeeping for
Good Governance Toolkit to our ICA colleagues, with specific focus
on showing how the guidelines work and how they can be adapted and relevant for
your country.
Good governance requires good records management, so that public
officials can account for their decisions and activities with reference to
accurate, reliable and accessible information.
Good governance is also one of the key priorities for Pacific
Island governments. However in most Pacific countries, the legacy of no tools,
guidance, or training on recordkeeping and information management in the post-colonial
era has resulted in an underlying problem of weak or non-existent frameworks
that do not support the needs of governments or communities.
Nevertheless, recordkeeping is beginning to improve across the
Pacific. In 2005, 13 countries of the Pacific Regional Branch of the
International Council on Archives (PARBICA) adopted a declaration on
recordkeeping for good governance. One result of this declaration is that
representatives from many Pacific countries worked together to develop a suite
of web-based and printed tools which form the Recordkeeping for Good
Governance Toolkit. The toolkit provides practical advice on getting
leaders to listen, as well as guidance and practical tools on creating,
maintaining, and disposing of government information, including specific
guidance on managing digital information. It was developed by Pacific
representatives in a way that can be easily adapted to meet specific
jurisdictional requirements.
