As an increasing number of countries around the world adopt and implement access to information laws, government officials will need to know how to properly handle information requests and to efficiently answer queries from the public. A new training manual recently produced by ARTICLE 19 provides an invaluable reference that can be adapted by governments in any country.

The Freedom of Information Training Manual for Public Officials is designed as an easy-to-use learning tool for officials and as a teaching guide for trainers who wish to hold workshops on access to information. It includes a suggested agenda for a two-day training workshop, case studies from around the world and role-playing exercises.

The manual is currently available in English on the ARTICLE 19 website and will soon be available in Spanish. ARTICLE 19 will also be translating the manual into Russian, Turkish and several Southeast European languages in the coming months.
