Three ways to work with the desk.

A session on making a well-formed request to a public body under Kenya's access to information framework.

Covers identifying the correct office, describing the material you want precisely enough to be actionable, the timelines a body is expected to observe, what a partial or refused response means, and the review routes available.

Support for reporters whose requests have gone unanswered or been declined.

Covers writing a courteous follow-up that records the original timeline, understanding the grounds on which material may be withheld, deciding whether a narrower request would succeed where a broad one did not, and preparing a review application.

A programme for building an entire inquiry on formally requested records.

Covers planning a sequence of requests so each builds on the last, keeping a register of what was asked, when and of whom, reconciling material received from different bodies, and writing up findings with the request history recorded alongside.
