East Africa: Action research for the realisation of ESCR

Equalinrights is engaged in the initial phase of a long term action research project for the realisation of economic, social and cultural rights in East Africa. This project will centre on how the most impoverished and marginalised groups in communities can demand greater accountability and responsiveness of governance structures and mechanisms for their fundamental human rights. Men and women involved will gain greater sense of their human rights and how they can use them to meet their critical needs, their capacity to claim them, and negotiation space to do so.
