Dear Colleagues, I am sending this message to announce the publication of
Public Access to Information for Development: A Guide to the 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, Stephanie Trapnell and I hope that this volume
will be a valuable resource for  those of you who are working toward
adoption and implementation of the right to information.



The publication is available free of charge to download at this link:
