MCK, Katiba Institute
and CAJ to host International Day for Access to Information
The Media Council of Kenya (MCK), in collaboration with the
Katiba Institute and the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ), will host
the International Day for Access to Information at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi
from 8 am.
The event will be held under the theme "Ensuring Access
to Environmental Information in the Digital Age".
The theme underscores the increasing need to facilitate
timely, comprehensive, and cross-border access to information amidst escalating
climate and ecological crises.
The event will be led by the Ministry of Information,
Communications and the Digital Economy.
The organizers note that the digital divide continues to
restrict access to information, which is crucial in fostering transparency,
public participation, and accountability in environmental and climate
governance.
