The “ATI in Africa” (Accesss to Information Africa) initiative is investigating to what extent citizens are gaining access to information through environment and natural resource laws and institutions. Natural resources drive the national and household economies of these and other developing countries. Thus, promoting transparency in this sphere is considered key to assuring healthy, prosperous societies. This document is part of a project proposal.
