Training Guide on Access to Information for Public Officials

This training guide has been developed as a tool for Trainer of Trainers (TOT) on Access to Information (ATI) for public officials. It seeks to serve as a guide to enhance understanding on how this right can be implemented effectively; and to understand the extent and scope of the right and the particular obligations of public officials in providing information. With this guide, public officials will be empowered to complete the cycle of a free flow of information, which in turn will promote an atmosphere of accountability and trust. The guide will sensitize on collaboration and complementarity as different stakeholders have different capacities and opportunities, which together can be used to promote effective access to information regime.
