Description
Information policy is the glue that holds the proper management of information for nations and
organisations. Information if not well managed poses challenges to privacy and confidentiality, intellectual
rights, security, reliability, accountability and responsibility. This then calls for information policy to maintain
proper rules and procedures in the use of formation for effective and efficient information flow. This paper
shows the value of having an information policy. The dangers of not having an information policy are
articulated which include inconsistency, repetition of work and lack of accountability.
