| Summary: | The findings from the study suggest that
international pressure for more effective Right to
Information (RTI) implementation only goes so far. The
development of RTI laws with the encouragement, assistance,
or insistence of the international community was a prominent
theme throughout the case studies, particularly for EU
countries during their accession process. But implementation
is a less straightforward task, with many interlocking,
moving parts, and international support comes in ad hoc
fashion as the process unfolds. A strong implication from
these findings is that a national coordinating strategy may
be valuable for implementation. This kind of strategy
document should take the interdependence of the drivers of
effectiveness into account when drafting policies and rules
for practice, and can serve as a guiding document when
deciding on foreign funding priorities. |
