The Ghana Coalition on the Right to Information will on Thursday, April 17, 2008 host a panel discussion on Access to Information as a Cornerstone for Development during the UNCTAD Civil Society Forum in Accra.

The event is scheduled to take place at the National Theatre (Room DH2) from 1.30pm to 2.30pm. It is expected that speakers will include: Professor Kwame Karikari, Executive Director, Media Foundation for West Africa, Mr. Korsah Brown of CELD, Dr Steve Manteaw of the ISODEC and a Representative from NETRIGHT. 

 The speakers will raise issues related to Freedom of Information (FOI) from various perspectives in light of the Civil Society Forum’s general theme: Addressing the Opportunities and Challenges of Globalization for Development. 

Various contributions will be made on the critical question of access to information against the background of Ghana’s search for a comprehensive FOI legislation, highlighting its value to the development aspirations of the nation as well as developing countries as a whole and specifically analysing how FOI, as an instrument for the empowerment of the people, contributes to sustainable development. 

The outcome of the discussions will be contained in a statement on FOI which will be incorporated into the Civil Society Organisations’ Declaration to be presented for the UNCTAD Conference.

All interested stakeholders are invited to attend.
