## Programs
- [Myanmar Resource Page](https://www.law-democracy.org/programmes/myanmar-resource-page/): On 1 February 2021, Myanmar’s military took control of the country in a coup\. This page presents a consolidated source for all CLD’s resources on Myanmar since February 2021, as well as older resources\. It will be updated regularly with new resources as they become available\.
- [FOIPOP Information Line](https://www.law-democracy.org/programmes/foipop-information-line/)
- [Global Transparency Work](https://www.law-democracy.org/programmes/global-transparency-work/): CLD is working with a number of inter\-governmental organisations \(IGOs\) and International Financial Institutions \(IFIs\) to improve transparency both in their own operations and through them of States\. Greater transparency on the part of IFIs and IGOs can help reduce corruption, avoid negative social and environmental impacts, and increase participation, engagement and ownership over projects, thereby rendering them more robust and relevant\.
- [The Right to Information](https://www.law-democracy.org/programmes/the-right-to-information/): A key focus area for CLD since its early days has been the promotion of the right to access information \(RTI\)\. This refers to the internationally recognised right to access information held by public authorities, subject to only limited exceptions to protect certain overriding interests\.
- [Media Lawyers’ Networks](https://www.law-democracy.org/programmes/media-lawyers-networks/): The Centre for Law and Democracy \(CLD\), with funding from the Global Media Defence Fund managed by UNESCO, is providing support for the formation and development of national networks of media lawyers\. Such networks bring together legal professionals who seek to protect media freedom and freedom of expression\. They can serve as forums for professional collaboration, knowledge sharing, advocacy and capacity building\.
