WOMEN AND THE RIGHT OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION
The project, implemented in Bain-Garr and Sanniquellie-Mah, involved collaboration with over 20 communities, six high schools, and eight women's associations. This comprehensive approach benefitted at least 10,000 individuals, with 80% being women and 20% being youth, persons with disabilities, and marginalized groups by granting them access to information, notably through the Freedom of Information (FOI) law.
