Day 2 focused on the use of Theatre for Development (TFD) as a powerful tool for advocating the FoI Act. The session was highly engaging, as participants were divided into three groups and tasked with acting out short plays to demonstrate how TFD can drive awareness and demand for transparency and accountability, this practical approach allowed participants to creatively express real-life challenges and solutions in accessing public information.

The session was expertly facilitated by Mr. MacDonald Ekemezie, CTA's Programs/Communication Manager and a seasoned expert in TFD, who provided valuable insights into how theatre can be used to amplify advocacy efforts.
