The law, designed to enhance transparency, accountability, public
trust, and anti-corruption efforts, requires public and private entities
providing public services to make information accessible and respond to
citizens’ requests.
Since its enactment in 2017, over 3,000 organizations have processed
citizen inquiries through the national information access platform,
iranfoia.ir. According to evaluations conducted on the platform, the Ministry
of Petroleum achieved the top ranking in the first half of 2025 for its
responsiveness to citizen requests, transparency in information dissemination,
and efforts to improve public engagement.
Officials said the achievement reflects the ministry’s commitment to
strengthening organizational accountability, transparency, and social capital
development within the framework of Iran’s e-government policies.
