Freedom of information and women’s rights in Africa

This is a collection of cases studies from Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Zambia which documents the experiences of women’s participation in the processes that have led to the formulation, enactment and/or implementation of laws or policies that enable the citizen to enjoy freedom of information, particularly the information that is in the custody of government. This resource book will be useful for enhancing the collective participation of women in lobbying for the enactment and implementation of freedom of information legal and policy frameworks. Freedom of information has the potential of enhancing women’s rights and empowerment in Africa.
