Access to Information: An enabling and fundamental human right
The African Platform on Access to Information (APAI) Campaign
Our Story
It started in Namibia’s capital Windhoek, eight years ago in 2009, with a meeting of like-minded organisations. Advocates passionate about media freedom and democratic development in Africa, came together to plan the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Windhoek Declaration. It continued with the successful implementation of an African conference which would kick off a powerful on-going African campaign.
