Technical Support & Policy Advice

 
RRRT provides professional and technical support, and acts as a resource base for information. Our home-grown trainers are regional experts in human rights and constitutional law, gender, development and good governance. We offer expert advice to government and civil society in the development of national human rights advocacy, lobbying and mobilisation strategies. We advise on the development of national human rights, gender and youth policies and the drafting of national human rights legislation. We also offer technical input to governments and civil society organisations concerning obligations in relation to international human rights conventions.
