Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

This data category requires all national laws and statutes to be available online, although it is not a requirement that information on legislative behaviour e.g. voting records is available.

  • Content of the law / status
  • Date of last amendment
  • Amendments to the law (if applicable)

How open is the data?

I rejected the original submission and started a new submission. On the site provided, I was not able to obtain access. The initial submitter had answered the questions accordingly: B1: Yes B1.1: Zambia Legal Information Institute B2: yes B2.2: https://www.zambialii.org - Zambia Legal Information Institute B2.3: 4 B2.4: I google searched National Laws Zambia and this website was on the first page of search results. B3: Content/ Date of last amendment/ Amendments to the law B4: Yes B5: Yes B6: Yes B7: No - No copyright information is available on the website. B8: None - RTF B9: 3

The submission fulfills data characteristics. The laws were found on the Parliament's website, under Publications. Laws are available to download in PDF, while a brief summary and date enacted are provided in HTML.
