We all know of examples of how the Freedom of Information Act has been used as a powerful and versatile campaigning tool from developing the evidence base of a campaign to gaining crucial information on how decisions are made but have you ever thought about using it to measure the success of your work?

Guest blogger for us Tom Baker has done just that and shares his findings with us.

We highlighted a series of blogs by Tom Baker in this week's campaigning and influencing newsletter so good in fact I wanted to share them here.

Tom is a campaigner at Tearfund and writes in a personal capacity on his blog the thoughtful campaigner. He's brought together in these three blogs a range of thinking and reflections on what's going on in the US and what we could learn from a recent trip there. Well worth a read.
