Promoted effective implementation of ATI laws in Africa
From our first strategy (2011-2015) to our most recent (2015-2019), our work expanded from a focus on adopting laws to also promoting effective implementation. As part of that work, we developed training manuals for and delivered training to over 1,800 public officials, civil society representatives, and journalists in Malawi, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, and Uganda. In addition, we piloted sector and thematic implementation of ATI laws focused on open contracting and women. Targeted governments improved on implementation, and CSO/journalist demand for public information grew. Significantly, delivery of services improved at community level as a result of disclosure and citizen monitoring of contracts and services.
