Description: "In 2015, all 193 UN Member States agreed to adopt Agenda 2030, or the SDGs, an ambitious effort to improve the lives of the world's poorest people, globally, within 15 years ... Access to information empowers communities to better participate in their own governance and development. It also enables the people to participate in development processes of their countries and can hold their governments and leaders accountable for their actions. Africa Freedom of Information Centre with support from IFEX conducted a parallel assessment of the status of implementation of SDG Target 16.10 aims to 'ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements' for Sierra Leone, South Africa and Tunisia."--Page 1
