Research consisted of a high-level exploration of the extent of integration between national ICT/ e-Government and Freedom of Information initiatives and records management. Court case studies were carried out. Findings show that records management functionality is often overlooked in records system design, and that over time, the integrity of the courts is at risk.1 digital file (35 p. : ill.)application/pdfenICTE-DISCOVERYOPEN DATAFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONMETADATAINFORMATION RETRIEVALTRANSPARENCYACCOUNTABILITYEAST AFRICARECORDS MANAGEMENTE-GOVERNMENTOPEN GOVERNMENTGOVERNANCEJUDICIAL SYSTEMINFORMATION ACCESSBURUNDIKENYARWANDATANZANIAUGANDAManaging records as reliable evidence for ICT/ e-government and freedom of information in East Africa : Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and UgandaIDRC Final Report
