What are the German Foundation and its front organization doing with Right to Information ACT in India?

Regional Seminar on Right to Information organized by Media Information and Communication Centre of India (MICCI), International Centre, Goa and Frederick – Ebert – Stiftung- India. 29 – 30 June 2007


A seminar on RTI was organized by Media Information and Communication Centre of India (MICCI), International Centre, Goa and Frederick – Ebert – Stiftung- India. 29 – 30 June 2007.

I have a few questions on the role Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES)
which I believe is a political foundations funded in Germany (Pre USSR regime
was covert foundation for channeling CIA money to India) doing with
Right to Information Act in India?

1) How do political foundations like Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES)
and AMIC and now its Indian avatar Media Information and Communication Centre of India (MICCI) go about setting their agenda?

2) What is the agenda of Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Foundation, FES and other
foundations and other German transnational networks active in INDIA?

3) Do these foundations use media to have access to politicians, key decision-makers from the media, academia, and business community?

4) How do they measure their own success? How do they create their goals and determine if they have accomplished them?

I am addressing these questions to all of you for your insights.
