Public Access to Information for Development: A Guide to Effective Implementation of Right to Information Laws
The book, which is based two years of research studying how RTI has been implemented in countries in different regions and with varying income levels, sets out a theoretical framework by which to identify the drivers of effective implementation of RTI laws. The volume covers the history and development of RTI laws, broad processes of RTI implementation, operational guidance on institutionalization of RTI processes, as well as discussion of broad themes such as privacy, sequencing and measurement of impact.
As co-authors of the Guide, Victoria Lemieux and Stephanie Trapnell hope that this volume will be a valuable resource for those who are working toward adoption and implementation of the right to information.
