Total of 150 selected staff members and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) from 10 Municipal and District Assemblies (MDAs) have undergone three-day training on the Right To Information (RTI) Act in Nalerigu, the North East Regional capital.
The participants were drawn from the Northern, Savannah and North East Region, and the purpose of the training was to enhance their knowledge to effectively respond to citizen's requests for information.
The participants were taken through topics including procedures for accessing information, handling information requests, the review and appeal processes, annual reporting, and applicable fees and charges under the RTI Act.
The training was organised by Ghana Developing Communities' Association (GDCA) as part of the organisation's governance efforts under the Empowerment for Life Programme (E4L Programme).
