Following the call for proposals for AFRICTIVISTES’ Local Initiative for Justice II, more than 30 applications were received. Choosing the successful projects was difficult, given the relevance of the proposals. After a rigorous selection process, five applications were selected. A grant will be awarded to each beneficiary organisation to carry out activities in its respective country from 16 March to 17 April. The projects address issues relating to justice, as well as the role and mechanisms of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR).

We are pleased to present below the projects selected for the Local Initiative for Justice II programme:

  • Benin

    Organisation: Voix et Actions Citoyennes

    Proposed theme: Workshop on the mechanisms of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) in the face of restrictions on civic space in the digital age.

  • Guinea (Conakry)

    Organisation: Association des Blogueurs de Guinée (ABLOGUI)

    Proposed theme: Delivering justice to victims of repression in Guinea through the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) and its procedures for submitting complaints.

  • Guinea (Labé)

    Organisation: Association Villageois 2.0

    Proposed theme: A forum on human and citizens’ rights: What challenges must be addressed to protect human rights in our communities?

  • Niger

    Organisation: Centre d’Éducation aux Droits de l’Homme et des Peuples (CEDHOP)

As a reminder, Local Initiative for Justice is a workshop programme for civil society actors on issues relating to justice and human rights in Africa. It aims to provide a forum for dialogue, exchange, discussion and debate on human and peoples’ rights. To help deliver the programme, states, governments and other public institutions are invited to take part in and support these initiatives, helping to safeguard the independence and integrity of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR).

The programme is aimed in particular at Africtivistes members, partner civil society organisations and youth associations. They are invited to propose activities addressing justice issues in Africa. Local activities should promote legal instruments and the work of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

All projects must have a community focus, take a civic rather than institutional approach, include a digital element in their communications strategy, and have a budget of no more than US$2,000. Project leaders will receive support from Africtivistes teams in their respective countries. US$200 of the budget must be set aside exclusively for internet connectivity and online coverage of the activity, to contribute to the #CADHP4Africans campaign. Each session must have at least 30 participants.
