The African Human Security Initiative and the Civil Society APRM Secretariat in Zambia are inviting you to a one day workshop to build capacity in civil society organizations to lobby for reforms in select areas of the criminal justice system.
The workshop will bring together CSOs, activists and individuals that work on human rights, peace and conflict Community organizations, Journalists, Researchers and academics and officials from the criminal justice sector.
It is envisaged that the workshop outcome will be a CSO plan for a coordinated advocacy approach to lobbying for reforms in the criminal justice sector so that the groups can continue to monitor and track progress on reforms. This will create space for CSOs to participate in policy formulation in the security sector.
