For a long time, Africa has lagged behind global advances in
transparency, but there are now significant developments on the
continent. In a ground-breaking book, Access to Information in
Africa brings together for the first time a collection of African
academics and practitioners to contribute to the fast-growing
body of scholarship that is now accumulating internationally. This
is, therefore, an African account of progress made and setbacks
suffered, but also an account of challenges and obstacles that
confront both policy-makers and practitioners, challenges that
must be overcome if greater public access to information is
to make a distinctive, positive contribution to the continent s
democratic and socio-economic future. Offering a necessarily multi¬
dimensional perspective on the state of ATI in African jurisdictions
and the emerging, new praxis
—
a praxis that will entail a genuine
domestication of the right of access to information on the
continent.
