Key Facts
Amnesty International’s Africa Human Rights Education Project is a four year programme to enhance civil society capacity to deliver locally relevant human rights education and to improve human rights for the most disadvantaged by empowering marginalised communities to promote and defend their human rights. The programme will deliver community-level human rights education in 10 countries across East and West Africa in partnership with 20 local organisations. Local partners will mobilise community level Human Rights Education Workers and support them with resources to design and deliver a range of innovative Human Rights Education projects. The project will anchor a culture of human rights education within specific communities, enabling people to identify local human rights issues and their correspondence to human rights instruments. It will provide communities with information on how human rights relate to their lives and the role duty bearers should play in promoting and protecting those rights, improving human rights behaviour.
