Abstract

The Public Information Disclosure Act (UUKIP) aims to enhance the capacity of Public Agencies to provide information services to the community while also fostering public awareness in national and state life. Public information disclosure is a universally recognized human right and a constitutional right of every citizen. Currently, the establishment of Information and Documentation Management Officers (PPID) across Indonesia is one of the government’s efforts to create a fast, precise, and straightforward service environment to improve public information transparency. This research aims to explain and analyze the existing conditions regarding the role of Information and Documentation Management Officers (PPID) in fulfilling citizens’ rights to public information. The research employs a qualitative approach with a non-doctrinal legal specification, analyzed descriptively. The findings indicated that the optimization and effectiveness of the role or performance of Information and Documentation Management Officers (PPID) in executing their duties and functions related to public information disclosure have been satisfactory.
