Read the article by Dorosella Bishanga here. Twaweza Head Rakesh Rajani was interviewed by Susan Crawford on his involvement with OGP. He explains that ‘open government matters even more in East Africa because the stakes are so high- a matter of life and death.’ He gives examples from the three countries Twaweza works in of how citizens have benefitted from access to information.
Marion Bowman, mkurugenzi wa one-world-media, anaandika kuwa uwazi ndio mustakabali wa tasnia ya maendeleo akinukuu sera ya Twaweza kama alivyoiwasilishwa Rakesh Rajani kwenye sherehe ya miaka 50 ya Taasisi ya Misaada ya Kimataifa ya Uingereza. Madeleine Bunting wa gazeti la Guardian la Uingereza anaunga mkono hoja hiyo akiandika kwenye blogu yake-na kumnukuu pia Rakesh- kuwa inapaswa raia wawezeshwe kufuatiliwa wao wenyewe ufanisi wa misaada.
