African Platform on Access to Information (APAI) Working Group

This brings together nine civil society organizations promoting access to information in Africa. The Working Group organized the September 2011 Pan African Conference on Access to Information which adopted the African Platform on Access to Information (APAI) Declaration. The declaration formed the basis of subsequent successful campaigns that resulted in the proclamation of September 28th as the International Day for Universal Access to Information. As a secretariat, AFIC coordinates meetings of members as well as the working group’s campaigns and strategies.
