A symposium on human rights law attracted a large number of students at the University of The Gambia eager to devote their future to the protection and promotion of human rights in Africa. Speakers at the symposium stressed the importance of thorough research for the students’ recent and future work and introduced the African Human Rights Case Law Analyser as an important tool. It is excellent for making research better while saving time, speakers and students said.
Handling information effectively, using its potential to maximize the impact of advocacy – this is a serious challenge, and one that Janet Haven of the Open Society Foundations (OSF) has been working on for almost a decade. In this interview she talks about why she is convinced this is important, how she is constantly looking for new ways to measure the impact of this work and the progress made so far by working together with organizations like HURIDOCS.
Manushak shares what she has been learning as an intern at HURIDOCS to develop a website for Women for Development, an Armenian NGO she usually works with.
In this interview, Loren Treisman, Executive of Indigo Trust, talks about the partners they support, what makes them special and why her work feels like it’s part of a tech revolution – and still it’s not actually technology that matters.
In this interview Johannes Buabeng-Baidoo explains what role the African Human Rights Case Law Analyser plays in that and how he and his students use information that they did not have access to before.
