Strengthening Regional Engagement, Advancing National Impact

Our participation in the 87th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights in Banjul, The Gambia, offered an opportunity to engage directly with regional human rights mechanisms, deepen our understanding of the Commission's processes, and connect with SOGIESC-focused initiatives and human rights actors across the continent.

Regional events like this are not only about visibility. They are about learning, building relationships, and strengthening our ability to engage these mechanisms in ways that support human rights advocacy and accountability in Nigeria.

The highlight was a direct engagement with the Commissioner representing Nigeria, which allowed us to explore effective ways for civil society organisations to engage with the African Commission.

As we strengthen our institutional engagement at regional and international levels, EIN is committed to domesticating the knowledge, processes and opportunities gained through these engagements, and translating them into stronger human rights advocacy and accountability mechanisms in Nigeria.

From regional spaces to national action.
