National Institute of Transparency for Access to Information and Personal Data Protection explained

The National Institute of Transparency for Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (Spanish: Instituto Nacional de Transparencia, Acceso a la Información y Protección de Datos Personales, abbreviated as INAI) is a public organization in Mexico which guarantees access to public information as well as protection of personal data.[1] The INAI also has a National Transparency Platform which allows the digital requesting and accessing of public information.[2]

The institute was created in 2002, and changed its name from Federal Institute of Transparency for Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (abbreviated as IFAI in Spanish) in 2014.[3]

In 2024, President AMLO proposed a Constitutional Reform to eliminate the INAI along with other 6 Constitutional organizations. This proposal was approved for discussion by the Chamber of Deputies.[4]
