Our Projects

We actively campaign for ratification and domestication of African Union treaties that recognise the right to information, undertake promotional measures to support the implementation of access to information laws.

We aim to promote adoption and implementation of open contracting standards and norms by governments, strengthen capacity of CSOs and other stakeholders to use published data to promote efficiency.

Beyond its programmes, AFIC has become a home to and supported other initiatives that promote public access to information and transparency and accountability at national, regional and international level.
