Mission and objectivesUNDP's mandate is to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions.
ContextThe workshop is part of โPromoting Participation Pathways for Human Developmentโ (3P4D), which seeks to contribute to creating an enabling environment for peopleโs participation in public life. The goal of the 3P4D Initiative is to promote structural reforms aimed at fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for public participation. These reforms focus on a strategic combination of the following elements: Regulatory Frameworks for Civic Space: Legal and administrative provisions that regulate the exercise of fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly, alongside protections for human rights defenders. Citizen Participation Infrastructure: Concrete mechanisms and processes that facilitate peopleโs involvement in various aspects of public life, such as procedures that allow citizens to engage in policymaking. Civil Society Strengthening Infrastructure: Mechanisms to support civil society organizations through public investment (e.g., social innovation funds) or private capital (e.g., innovative financing solutions). Additionally, the initiative places a strong emphasis on youth inclusion in public lifeโparticularly through the lens of the Youth, Peace, and Security Agendaโensuring that at least one outcome per country specifically advances young peopleโs leadership and participation. The workshop will focus on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), covering its principles, limitations, and legislative models in a specific country context.
