Category 1: Website analysis
y

All surveyed organisations had functioning
websites containing useful information such
as policies, areas of expertise, regulations,
news, reports, organisational leadership
structure, and connection details. However,
not all information is up-to-date.

y

All organisations often use two languages
(Swahili and English) to display their
information.

y

Most of the sites were not regularly updated.

Category 2: Requests for information

77

y

Letters with questionnaires were prepared and
delivered to the respective offices.

y

Some institutions responded within the
stipulated time frame. Some were not
responsive due to bureaucratic requirements
and some only responded after persistent
follow-ups.

The study also found that handling
correspondence was a problem at almost all
the organisations surveyed. Many claimed not
to have received the emails or letters initially
sent.
