Civil Society Actors including Human Rights Defenders and Journalists contributes immensely towards the promotion and protection of human rights in conflicts situations. The end goal of their work is to protect victims of human rights violations and abuses and to sort perpetrators accountable for their acts irrespective of their status. To carry out their work, there is a need for capacity building and strengthened sustainable partnerships.  

Funded by the British High Commission Yaounde, CHRDA organised a one-day capacity building workshop in Buea, the South West Region of Cameroon to train over 50 Civil Society actors on human rights monitoring, documenting and reporting.

The core issues discussed during the one-day training were and not exclusively; Basic Human Rights Concepts, Human Rights Monitoring, Human Rights Investigations,  Human Rights Documentation, Human Rights Reporting, Practical experiences from Civil Society Actors, Physical and Digital Security. 

According to the president of CHRDA, Barrister Agbor Nkongho, for Civil Society organisations to promote and protect Human Rights, they must work with all stakeholders and they must ensure that there is impartiality, accuracy and consistency in their work.
