Recommendations The Government of the Republic of Namibia has to prioritise access to information for its citizens, and this can be realized through the adoption and efficient implementation of legislation that facilitates and guarantees citizens’ right to access to information. The important role Access to Information can play in combating corruption, as well as advancing the socio economic rights of Namibia’s citizens is also of utmost importance. MISA Namibia as part of the ACTION Coalition will continue to lobby government and policy makers to act on the development of such legislation, while at the same time raise awareness that access to information is a fundamental human right. 58
