Abstract
This paper is a contribution to the ongoing debate over the role of governance and citizenship in promoting information literacy abilities. In other words, to what extent have good governance and citizenship empowered people through knowledge creation and dissemination. First, it defines governance and citizenship and links them to how they are important in promoting information literacy abilities. Secondly, it discusses the measures put in place by African governments to empower people through knowledge creation and dissemination. Thirdly, it addresses some of the challenges encountered in empowerment though knowledge. Fourthly, it makes recommendations that will ensure that governance and citizenship value information literacy abilities than is currently the case.
