Situation
While international and regional mechanism for the protection of minority rights such as the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights or the Forum on Minorities Issues exist, minority & indigenous communities, and the organizations representing them, which would most benefit from these mechanism have still too little knowledge of their existence and how to access them.
Solution
MRG has designed a program of work which we believe will become instrumental in supporting minority activists from all over the work to acquire the necessary knowledge of international & regional mechanisms for the protection of minority rights they need in order to use them effectively to demand for an improvement of the lives of their communities.
