Access to Information (A2I)

The Central Asia "Access to Information" program is a regional program, combining country-specific as well as regional activities for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan that will increase citizen access to civically-relevant information in order to improve governance outcomes. The program will increase citizen access to civically-relevant information through four complementary objectives:1.

Increased regional cooperation to improve the competitiveness of non-state media outlets through content generation and sharing;2.

Increased resilience of independent media to survive the impending, treaty-mandated shift to digital broadcasting across Central Asia in 2015;3. Strengthened diversity and professionalism of voices in traditional and "new" media; and4. Improved legal and policy environment for media.
