A study of the implementation of Records Management Programs and Public Integrity Programs in the Brazilian public administration, within the context of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda. The information recorded in archival documents is a strategic asset for institutional decision-making, as well as for citizens' daily lives. These aspects are aligned with the SDGs of the UN 2030 Agenda, particularly SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. This research seeks to answer the following question: What is the current scenario regarding the implementation of Records Management and Public Integrity Programs in Brazilian states and municipalities, especially in the municipalities of the Northern Region of Brazil, and how do they contribute to the effectiveness of the right of access to information in the Brazilian public administration? Consistent with this question, the general objective of the research is to understand the scenario concerning the implementation of Records Management Programs and Public Integrity Programs as a contribution to access to information, with particular focus on the municipalities of the Northern Region of Brazil that have joined the Time Brasil Program. The methodological approach is characterized as an exploratory study of a qualitative nature, employing documentary research as its method. The results aim to demonstrate the relevance of establishing Municipal Archives and implementing records management for the promotion of sustainable public integrity.
