SAMPLE NPO PAIA MANUAL

Use this Sample PAIA Manual to prepare your NPO's PAIA manual. 

Section 51(1) of the Promotion of Access to Information Act requires that all private bodies, unless exempted, compile a manual containing the required information (the PAIA manual). The Minister of Justice and Correctional Services has in the past exempted some private bodies from complying with this requirement. These exemptions are no longer in effect. NPOs fall within the definition of private bodies. This means that NPOs must also compile and update their PAIA manuals and must be made available, as prescribed.
