Fostering collaboration among stakeholders to prevent and respond to Mass Atrocities.
Bringing together stakeholders to promote corporate accountability and respect for Human Rights in Business Practices.
The African Coalition for Corporate Accountability (ACCA) is a coalition of 136 organisations from 32 African countries which supports African communities and individuals whose human rights are adversely impacted daily by the activities of corporations, both multi-national and domestic.
With the aim of empowering mining host communities to assert their rights and advocate for responsible resource extraction, we instituted the FNMHC to act as an independent body for the purpose of mobilizing mining host communities in search of sustainable solutions to the unique challenges they face.
Rape is a Crime is dedicated to eradicating sexual violence by providing comprehensive education, unwavering support for victims, and robust advocacy efforts. Our mission is to empower individuals with knowledge, offer relief to those affected, and collaborate with organizations to foster a safer society.
Monitoring and documenting election-related atrocities to promote accountability and transparency.
We believe that by strengthening a community of practice on civic space at subnational levels, enhancing civic organizations’ capacity to navigate regulatory compliance, we can achieve a sustainable regulatory environment for civil society in Nigeria.
