Strengthening the knowledge and capacity of human rights defenders in the Central African Republic
A needs assessment mission was undertaken to Bangui in February 2017 in order to better understand the capacity needs of local (human rights) organisations in terms of their human rights knowledge and capacity to monitor, document and report (MDR) on human rights violations marking the country. The mission helped in identifying potential partner organisations that are eager to improve their knowledge level and skill base. In fact, we selected those who operate or plan to establish centres where victims register their cases. There is an urgent need to build the MDR capacity of these organisations, as these organisations are often approached by international organisations, who want to extract reliable information from them.

After the scoping/needs assessment mission in February 2017, Amnesty contracted two partners for MDR training. The trainings in August 2017 were followed by in-depth discussions on action plans. The training and the discussions may have influenced the NGO partners in their daily work (at the Centres d’écoute), but no concrete follow-up was given to the proposals/action plans. At the moment, we have no information on changes as a result of the project (which basically only started in July/August 2017), except improved tools being used at the “Centres d’écoute” of the partners, and two participants having observed criminal trials in Bangui in January 2018. Due to limited response and capacities of partner organizations, the project may change from organizations having war victim registration centres to other organizations, or the project may be cancelled completely (to be decided in 2018).

Building ESC Rights Capacity in Zimbabwe
The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum consists of 22 Zimbabwean human rights organizations, including Amnesty International Zimbabwe. Along with engagement strategies and ESC rights being recognized to some extent in the new constitution of Zimbabwe, they had a clear need to be trained on ESC rights: how to identify, research and campaign to make the Zimbabwean government live up to its obligations under international and national law. The project started with a training and action planning, which is now being followed up with further project planning and a follow-up training focused on ESCR advocacy.

After a first ESCR training in 2016, a second training, focused on ESCR Advocacy, was held in May-June 2017. This was a pilot training, which was subsequently written up into a standard training module. During the training the participants formed three groups, each of which developed a draft advocacy plan for respectively the right to education, the right to health and the right to food. Amnesty did a further assessment of the capacities of some members of the network. Then it took until the end of December 2017 for the network to submit a follow-up proposal. They decided to focus on the right to free primary basic education. The proposal needed a lot of clarification; hence the operational delay. As a result of the delayed response of partner organizations, and unclarity of the proposal, the project will probably be cut in phases and implemented in a cascaded manner.

Protecting ESC rights in rural Burundi
This project initially aimed to phase out the Remesha programme under the Twungurane coalition, which was an initiative supported by AINL/HURICAP since 2012, while seeking to continue the promotion and protection of human rights and improving access to justice for the poor in Burundi. It built the capacity of local Burundi partners to raise local awareness on and monitor the extent in which people's human rights are respected, promoted and fulfilled in their respective communities. As such, it enabled relevant partner organizations to promote people's human rights and social cohesion; to monitor the human rights situation in the communities of their respective action areas; to report abuses and violations observed with the relevant organizations and/or institutions of the State, and to conduct lobbying and advocacy at the local and provincial levels. Currently, the project has downsized considerably with one partner remaining, who seeks to effectively monitor and advance ESC rights in the communities it works in.

Project relevance is at stake. Originally work was envisaged with three local partners, but with two of them, work did not take off at all as they were not able to send in any meaningful project proposal. The partner that did make efforts in this regard was however able to bring about some change. For instance, their lobby efforts to advance people’s right to health and education in their community (undertaken in 2016) with provincial authorities, yielded results in 2017 with the creation of a community support fund for education.
Nevertheless, a series of laws recently enacted in the country to control the activities of both Burundian and international non-governmental organisations seem to have created a serious barrier to the type of partnership we have had so far with our partners in the country. This may require us to stop working in the country.

The Accessing Justice Programme in rural Sierra Leone
The Accessing Justice Programme in rural Sierra Leone started early 2007 and came to an end in December 2015. During a consultation round in December 2015, it was agreed that the capacities of the 5 local partner organisations would be strengthened in some specific fields, so that they could continue their important work separately, by offering them the services of an experienced organisational development consultant. Each partner indicated different needs and different wishes that could be addressed, varying from fundraising to specific institutional challenges to developing exit strategies guaranteeing more sustainability. Accordingly, AINL/HURICAP provided training sessions in fundraising, strategic planning review, financial and human resources management. At this moment, no future plans exist to resume activities in Sierra Leone.

Strengthening human rights monitoring in Ethiopia
Repression of civil society in Ethiopia has become progressively worse as of 2014, when the CSO law was more rigorously enforced. The law severely limits nongovernmental organizations to work on human rights, good governance, conflict resolution and more. Our local partner in Ethiopia - as most other human rights and civil society organisations - has been severely affected but managed to continue its work on investigating forced evictions, arbitrary arrests, extra-judicial executions and more. With civil society in Ethiopia nearly decimated, our partner is one of the last standing human rights organisations in the country that manages to share information including on the violent suppression of the largely peaceful protests in the Oromia region. Late 2015, our partner contacted Amnesty International to strengthen their capacity in monitoring human rights violations for their monitoring teams, to strengthen their evidence and credibility, and to produce stronger reports in appealing for the international community to respond. Despite the relentless state repression, Ethiopia is still one of the largest recipients of donor aid in Africa, while donors remain silent of Ethiopia s dire human rights record. AINL/HURICAP's expertise is to train human rights organisations and activists in how to monitor, document and report human rights violations and abuses more effectively, as well as how to use the data collected more effectively in putting pressure on governments as well as onregional and international human rights bodies. AINL/HURICAP started training the first batch of human rights monitors from our partner in the basics of human rights law, skills and knowledge of monitoring violations and basic safety & security techniques. Follow up will focus on researching specific areas such as arbitrary arrests, and possibly torture in detention and freedom of expression, on digital security (our partner s staff is under constant surveillance) and on improving their international reports as well as broadening their audience and therewith increasing their visibility and impact.

Somalia/Somaliland MDR capacity-building programme
Somalia's long-running armed conflict continues to leave civilians affected in many ways. The Islamist armed group Al-Shahaab is still committing human rights abuses, including deadly attacks, against civilians, journalists and political figures in the areas under its control as well as in government controlled areas, such as Mogadishu. But also government security forces, African Union troops, and allied militias have been responsible for indiscriminate attacks, sexual violence and arbitrary arrests and detention. Despite positive commitments and policy development from the Somali government, insecurity and political infighting continue to detract from concrete progress on justice and security sector reform. Restrictions on access of aid organizations to affected populations have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis. In Somaliland, the government is becoming increasingly repressive with the authorities restricting any public criticism of their governance (including corruption) and policies. Authorities regularly arrest and detain journalists and the country reinstated the death penalty in 2015. Seven people were executed in 2016.
Following an initial assessment visit to the country in February 2017, this project aims to support partner organisations in Somaliland and South-Central Somalia in their capacity to monitor, document and report on human rights violations and abuses that are being committed in both States. In Somaliland, we trained local human rights monitors to investigate the abuses/violations happening on the ground. For Somaliland, the ultimate aim is to change the mindset/behavior of the government towards human rights defenders/journalists; whereas in Somalia the main focus is on better reporting of human rights violations, so that this information can be shared with international NGOs and other actors, which can help in attracting international attention for their case and their search for justice. Work in Somalia is expected to start in 2018.

The project only started in July 2017 and implementation is on track. According to the local partner organization, the MDR Capacity Building training provided by HURICAP has led to an increase in their evidence-based advocacy, as well as in the documentation of the cases from the regions. The monitors, for example, started their work by using guidelines and hand-out materials provided by HURICAP. Before this project, the local partner organization was not able to monitor all regions throughout Somaliland and get the correct information regarding the human right situation since the office was/is based in the Capital (only).

Ending Impunity
Tens of thousands of people have been killed and over 2 million people displaced both within and across South Sudan's borders since the conflict started in December 2013. South Sudan is one of Amnesty International's priority countries and part of Amnesty's overall proposal "Promote an End to Impunity for Grave Human Rights Violations in Africa." A fragile peace agreement between president Kiir and former vice president Machar was sealed in August 2015, followed by Machar being sworn in as the vice president in April 2016. On the eve of South Sudan's fifth anniversary, heavy fighting broke out again between the two opposite groups. Such events make it all the more essential for AINL/HURICAP to invest in selected organisations in establishing a core group of human rights monitors. Many of the grave violations -including war crimes- that have been committed by all sides in the conflict over the past few years have barely seen the light of day; human rights monitoring and evidence gathering has to date not been given the attention it deserves. Human rights monitoring and evidence collection is particularly important when considering the establishment of a future Hybrid Court that was part of the August Peace Agreement.
AINL/HURICAP's capacity building programme aims to contribute to a civil and human rights society that prioritises human rights fact-finding for purposes of accountability. It aims to contribute to establishing a human rights community that has gained the skills and knowledge to effectively collect information on grave violations committed during the past or current conflict, and to support the collection and delivery of evidence in support of trying those who bear greatest responsibility. AINL/HURICAP, in close collaboration with Amnesty's South Sudan researcher from its Regional Office in Nairobi, equipped ten South Sudanese human rights defenders with the skills to safely and effectively research conflict-related sexual violence. As a result, a joint report on sexual violence entitled "Do Not Remain Silent . Survivors of Sexual Violence in South Sudan Call for Justice and Reparation" was launched in July 2017. The report highlights the prevalence of sexual violence within the South Sudanese conflict and the inadequate humanitarian aid and care for survivors of sexual violence. It calls upon the international community to act upon these violations.
The follow-up project focuses on personal profiles surrounding abduction and arbitrary detention and will again be further developed in close collaboration with the Regional Office. This project aims to give victims a platform to tell their stories, and to show how these violations impacted on their lives and those of their loved-ones.

A total of ten human rights monitors from two partner organizations - both male and female - were taught the skills to do effective research on the characteristics, scale and consequences of sexual violence in South Sudan. They interviewed 168 victims of sexual violence, including 16 men, the results of which were incorporated into Amnesty International's report "Do not remain silent", which was able to gain international media attention (e.g. in NRC Handelsblad, The Boston Herald, The Guardian and The Japan Times) and raise awareness on the issue at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, among others.

Communities living in the two states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile have endured unrelenting bombing campaigns by the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF). The aerial attacks have resulted into severe food insecurity in both states, a destroyed infrastructure and have led to a major humanitarian crisis. Amnesty International research has confirmed that many civilian areas were targeted, which amounts to war crimes. Since 2012, AINL/HURICAP has trained and worked with a group of human rights monitors, who systematically gather evidence of these attacks, by building their MDR and report-writing knowledge and skills, as well as on community mobilisation and strategy development, Detailed data provided by the monitoring groups are not only used by AI but also by partner IRRI (International Refugee Rights Organisation) to publish quarterly updates targeting key international actors. As the monitoring teams have become mature enough to continue their monitoring and community mobilisation work, this part of our Sudan programme was phased out by the end of the 2017.
Since 2015, AINL/HURICAP also started working with another local partner, which supervises monitoring teams in both SPLA-N territory as well as SAF controlled areas. This brings opportunities to get a more balanced picture of the human rights situation in both SPLA-N and government controlled areas. We will continue working with this partner in strengthening their monitoring skills, but will also focus more on their (methods of) report writing. Capacity building to this particular organisation is on an ad-hoc basis and when requested.
Despite the vast amount of human rights work that is already being done by Sudanese civil society actors in both the conflict and non-conflict affected regions in the country, there remains a strong need for capacity building and professional trainers to strengthen the work of those civil society actors. Consequently, AINL/HURICAP, in close collaboration with a newly identified Sudanese partner and the Sudan team at the AI regional office in Nairobi, is seeking to establish a network of human rights trainers who could provide capacity building to a wide range of Sudanese organisations and organisations working on Sudan from abroad. The emphasis is on improving the work on monitoring and documenting human rights violations by security forces and crisis-mapping which is undertaken by our partner. Secondary objective is to have a number of individuals trained as human rights monitors, focusing on specific areas, including arbitrary arrest and detention, and the excessive use of force by the Sudan National Intelligence Services (NISS), amongst other priority areas yet to be defined. These trusted monitors operate under the radar and will be a direct source of information for the Sudan research team in Nairobi. Monitors are selected on the basis of their professions too, which aims to include persons with medical backgrounds (in a position to identify torture methods); and persons with a law or media background.

Despite some strategic delay, the project is currently on track. Work ended with our Sudanese partner that operates in SK/BN states, as they are sufficiently able to deliver good MDR work and to fend for itself. However, work continued with the new partner organization that has monitors working throughout the whole of Sudan. We build their training and facilitation capacity; helped them organize mini-workshops in their respective communities to practice their newly gained skills and to raise human rights awareness; and we enhanced their monitoring, documenting and reporting, as well as safety and security skills. There was a short slowdown in the project (the monitoring network had been working at 30% between August - December 2017), when they were asked (by the organizers) to stop working until they had received a training in digital security (held in December 2017). There were fears that the network would face direct threats. After the workshop, our partner decided to amend the implementation of this ongoing project by changing the structure of the network and sign clearly defined TOR with each monitor to properly organize the work and have an accountability system in place. This has diminished the volume of monitoring reports received, however, the partner believes that this new structure is needed to improve the production of the network and have better communication channels with the most committed monitors. It also helps ensure secure communications channels between the monitors and their sources.

Strengthening Customary Land Justice Structures in the Acholi sub-region
The project has two components. One is strengthening a coalition of 9 human rights NGOs to enable it to raise its profile, become a self-standing advocacy actor bringing together the voices of different organizations with constituencies in different districts and communities of the Acholi subregion, and attracting funds from national and international donors. The second component builds on the advocacy work of the coalition, which aims to protect the land rights of certain Acholi communities threatened with land grabbing, and of vulnerable groups like widowed and divorced women, youth and children. This is mostly done by sensitizing traditional leaders endowed with land tenure to learn about and build on customary law, and to guide them to do effective mediation in cases of conflict. The results of these interventions are further fed into advocacy actions towards central cultural and political leaders in the subregion.

Overall, the project is on track, but throughout the year and towards the end, we recorded quite some operational delay (E.g. the major land rights advocacy workshops had to be postponed, because the local organization coordinator was too late in preparing the advocacy workshops).
The most important behavioural change is the increased awareness and resolve of traditional leaders about land grabbing and the need to stand up against increased encroaching of communal Acholi land.This was achieved through partners at various levels (district, subcounty, clan and subclan levels) reaching out to the leaders and involving them in conflict mediation at their own levels. When evictions or conflicts happened (such as in Apaa), the partners mobilized civil society and the cultural leaders to have a joint meeting or take a joint action, even by going to Kampala to protest.

Human rights monitoring in relation to the Boko Haram conflict and the Anglophone crisis
For several years, Cameroon is affected by high levels of insecurity and multiple human rights violations/abuses as a result of an Anglophone crisis, frequent Boko Haram attacks (in the north) and a heavy-handed indiscriminate response by Cameroonian forces, with large numbers of people imprisoned and tortured on terrorism charges.
Since 2016, Cameroonians living in the Anglophone regions of the country have been protesting against their marginalization by the Cameroonian government and to denounce the inequalities that they are facing. The first of October 2017 marked one of the worst moments when demonstrations were violently repressed, leaving more than 100 people dead.
While the AI Regional Office reports on violations and abuses by all conflict parties, AI-NL intends to strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations in monitoring, documenting and reporting human rights violations by security forces, including supporting victims to access justice and adequate and effective reparation. Staff and volunteers of such organisations will be trained in human rights provisions, in techniques of factfinding and documentation, and these organisations will be facilitated to bring corroborated information to AI and other international actors, while they will also be supported to perform local and national advocacy to change the anti-terrorism law, to change its application, to ensure human rights-compliant behaviour by security forces, to liberate suspects arrested on futile grounds, to improve prison conditions, etc.

There is a strategic delay. Follow-up by trained organizations was limited and slow in 2017; however, in the end, two organisations did submit follow-up plans, which will be implemented in 2018. Due to limited response and capacities of partner organizations, the focus of the project will partly move away from the Boko Haram conflict, and towards the conflict in the anglophone regions.
Despite the aforementioned delay, NGO partners became more active in following human rights incidents, including court sessions, and in condemning violations publicly, despite the harassment by the authorities. At the same time, they continued to recognize the authorities for their mandate and responsibilities. According to one of the partners, the security forces have become more prudent, because they know that information on how they handle the crisis cannot be kept secret, and the situation is being “watched by Amnesty”. On the other hand, the authorities have also become more hostile towards Amnesty and its NGO partners in Cameroon.

Building human rights capacity among youth in Chad
IIn November 2017 a needs assessment mission was undertaken to Chad in order to get a better idea of the context in which local Chadian human rights organisations are operating, the challenges they face and the capacity needs that they have. The information collected will be used to design a human rights capacity building programme with focus to basic human rights and safety and security to a Network of Youth organisations in late 2018.

Building the capacity of Burkina Faso's ESCR Platform
The national section of Amnesty International in Burkina Faso is leading the ESC rights platform in Burkina Faso (Plateforme DESC). AI/HURICAP helped them develop a programme to build ESCR monitoring capacities with partners at national and local levels, to gather information on ESC rights violations in different parts of the country. This information will feed into shadow reports for UN monitoring mechanisms, notably to the UPR in early 2018 (report submitted early October 2017). At the same time, the Platform will work together with CBOs to hold the government to account for its earlier promises and to its national and international obligations.

The project is on track. Over 90 leaders of associations, national NGOs and community-based organisations were trained in ESC rights and a lobby and advocacy kit was developed and distributed among platform members. Radio emissions and press releases helped to raise people's awareness of their rights. As a result, the visibility and member base of Burkina Faso's ESCR Platform grew substantially. It now consists of 27 associations with another five interested to join. Lobby activities with the Office of the network of Deputies in charge of human rights resulted in the commitment of the network to seek solutions for the human rights situation in Kounkoufouanou. Moreover, the ESCR platform submitted a shadow report to inform the 2018 Universal Periodic Review of Burkina Faso.

Strengthening Gambian human rights defenders in their MDR capacity
This project is still under development. Based on a needs assessment of Gambian human rights organisations and discussions with Amnesty's Regional Office in Dakar, the project envisages strengthening local human rights defenders in the Gambia in their capacity to monitor, document and report on human rights violations. As the human rights situation in the Gambia has changed drastically following the Presidential elections held in December 2016, a new assessment of potential partners and their 'current' needs was carried out in February/March 2018. As a result, the Gambia Center for Victims of Human Rights Violations has been selected as the main local partner, given their pivotal role to be played in mobilizing victims and documenting and reporting human rights violations carried out during Yaya Jammeh s regime to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to be operational still in 2018. The basic MDR training took place from 07 to 14 of May in Banjul.

Seeking to strengthen Mauritania's human rights defenders
Mauritania's civil society is a key actor in promoting development and human rights, despite their often low organisational capacity and resources. Yet, their work is increasingly undermined by government restrictions, intimidations, smear campaigns, and religious laws especially when they try to address sensitive issues, such as discrimination, gender, and religion. For instance, human rights defenders campaigning for the eradication of slavery have become the target of the state. Those participating in protests, sit-ins and marches have on several occasions been the subject of intimidation by police and have suffered judicial harassment. The authorities continue to bar the legal registration of several NGOs and human rights organisations, and have the power to dissolve any organization it deems to violate the state s credibility or security. In general, without registration associations cannot receive funds from donors, submit to receive funds or organise public meetings (even workshops or press conferences in hotels).
Few of them are able to strongly research/document human rights violations and develop a supporting lobby/advocacy and/or media/communications strategy. This undermines their credibility and their capacity to build relations with decision-makers and influential embassies or donor countries. CSOs and human rights defenders met by Amnesty International also identify a need to be skilled in digital and physical security measures/tactics to better cope with the threats and intimidation they are facing.
As a result of the above, AINL/HURICAP tried to undertake a deeper needs assessment mission at the end of November 2017 to Mauritania together with the research team of Amnesty International in Dakar, in order to identify those potential partners that would benefit most from our capacity-building programmes. Yet, the mission could not be fulfilled as Amnesty staff was - upon arrival - not allowed into the country. In 2018, the needs assessment alternatively continued through online meetings with human rights organisations and defenders. For the time being, it is expected that future trainings will be held in neighbouring countries, as the current situation does not allow us to organise human rights trainings inside Mauritania. As such, a first training is to be held in July 2018.

Monitoring, documenting and reporting human rights violations in Mali
The project aims to strengthen the capacity of human rights defenders and journalists in Mali so that they are better able to report on and denounce human rights violations and abuses in the country, to seek justice for the victims and their families, as well as to lobby and advocate for human rights in laws and policies, and where necessary, to correct the behaviour and attitudes of the authorities in terms of respecting such rights. The project has trained local trainers in monitoring, documenting and reporting human rights violations, who then trained approximately 90 local human rights monitors in central and north Mali. The latter will collect evidence of human rights violations within their communities and share their findings with the relevant human rights organisations, who will analyse the collected information and use it to seek justice and accountability, including by informing the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (CVJR), which is mandated to investigate serious human violations that happened in north Mali between 1960 and 2013, in particular those affecting women and children.

There was an operational delay due to internal challenges at the level of the partner. Now these challenges have largely been addressed, the project is moving forward. Whereas outputs are known (e.g. over 90 people trained to monitor, document and report on human rights violations), we hope to be able to report on initial outcomes in the next quarter of 2018.

Syria Capacity-Building Programme
Our work on Syria is two-folded. On the one hand, we work on high level advocacy as we seek to build the capacities of Syrian human rights defenders to do effective advocacy on accountability and high quality documentation to help in investigating war crimes as part of the newly established mechanism IIIM. This work is done in close collaboration with EuroMed Rights.
The other work is done with Pax peace activists, whom we train on general human rights and basic monitoring and documenting human rights violations and abuses in their communities as part of their work with Pax on community reporting and research.

There is a strategic delay in implementing the second phase of the high level advocacy track of this project in order to ensure synergy between Amnesty International's Syria campaign and the launch of the IIIM. The first phase was essential in mapping the work of Syrian organisations on war crimes accountability and justice processes outside of Syria (e.g. in Germany, Sweden and France) and in exchanging relevant experiences in order to learn from each other.

Strengthening the MDR capacity of human rights defenders in Iraq
This project, for which AINL/HURICAP is closely collaborating with PAX, seeks to strengthen the capacity of human rights defenders in Iraq, so that they are better able to monitor, document and report on human rights violations in their respective territories. Whereas the project's main focus is on gender-based violence, it was decided to also incorporate the issue of enforced disappearances (as of 2018) in order to respond to the growing number of enforced disappearances since the liberation of Mosul. A first training in MDR and gender-based violence was held in November 2017, and a second in May 2018.

The project is on track. We see that our partner organization is monitoring, documenting and reporting human rights violations and using the reports for advocacy purposes with the national government or at UN level. The monitors, who collect the information in the field, have now adopted a human rights approach when documenting violations and stepped away from a purely journalistic approach. They are also better able to distinguish between violations, abuses, and crimes, and to apply MDR ethics and principles in their work. This means, amongst others, that they do their monitoring work in an impartial way (not being influenced by the different religious and ethnic backgrounds they may have).

Building local capacity in the area of business and human rights
In Africa, as well other parts of the world, globalisation triggered that non-state actors including transnational corporations and other businesses have gradually become more powerful and influential, bringing new challenges in the field of human rights. Increasingly, local communities have been confronted with human rights abuses committed by businesses, whether through poor labour conditions, forced evictions or the destruction of their livelihoods as a result of e.g. logging, mining and pollution. Although governments have the obligation to protect people from such abuses, many fail to do so. Over the years, the United Nations human rights machinery has tried to clarify the respective roles and responsibilities of governments and businesses with regard to protecting and respecting human rights. Yet, there are still few effective mechanisms at (inter)national level that prevent and address corporate abuses. Moreover, local people and communities often do not know their rights or how to seek justice for the corporate abuses they are confronted with. They lack access to information; are excluded from decision-making processes; or face ineffective legal systems and/or corruption. To help local organisations, activists, and grassroots communities in Africa better understand their rights, as well as the respective roles and responsibilities of business and governments, AI/HURICAP is currently developing a capacity-building package comprised of a handbook series and training modules. Accordingly, AI/HURICAP hopes to strengthen the knowledge base and skills of local activists and grassroots organisations so that they can contribute to holding companies to account for abuses they commit and enhance their access to justice and effective remedy.

Despite some initial delay, the project is currently on track. An overall guidebook on business and human rights is expected to be finalized in 2018 for publication. Part 1 explains the various (international) human rights standards, the key actors involved, how businesses impact on human rights as well as specific human rights issues (such as labour rights, damage to environment, displacement and land rights, security arrangements, armed conflict, corruption and access to remedy). Part 2 (Taking Action) is a slightly more operational document, which aims to provide practical guidance and steps for CSOs (mainly) and community rights activists in designing strategies for preventing, mitigating or remedying human rights impacts related to business activities.
The final versions of Part 1 and 2 will be used as background material (in particular the tools presented in part 2) for future trainings by Amnesty's Human Rights Capacity-Building Programme (HURICAP). A first pilot training is expected to be held by the end of 2018.

Strengthening human rights monitoring in North-Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo
At the end of 2015, AI/HURICAP started its collaboration with two local partner organisations to scale up their skills in monitoring, documenting and reporting human rights violations and abuses that are being committed by government forces as well as numerous armed groups in the province of North-Kivu. Whereas one partner organization covers the territories of Rutshuru, Nyiragongo, Lubero and Beni, the otherpartner organization operates in the territories Masisi, Walikale and Nyiragongo. The overall aim is that - through better human rights monitoring - both partners are able to use their collected evidence to put pressure on and address such abuses/violations with relevant authorities and institutions, bring perpetrators to justice, as well as seek justice for the victims. Accordingly, they aim to contribute to a reduction of such incidents and fight impunity. The collaboration with both partners was initially envisaged for three years and will most likely be continued until the end of 2018.

The project is on track. Successes have mainly been achieved at local or provincial level. For instance, lobby and advocacy efforts in North Kivu have proven effective with the establishment of a second office of the Prosecutor in Mangurujipa and a reduction of the number of sexual violence cases in Nyamilima. A joint verification mission to Bweremana by our partner and provincial government representatives led to the immediate release of ten illegally detained persons and the resettlement of a military commander, whose men had been involved in extortion practices. Since then, no new cases of extortion have been reported in this area.

Monitoring Security Incidents and Human Rights in Ituri province, DRC
In light of the Strategic Partnership, PAX and Amnesty explored in 2016 how they could renew their collaboration in the Ituri region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, amongst others to strengthen PAX Bunia and local partners in their monitoring capacity of security incidents. To this end, an exchange visit was held in Goma in February 2017 between PAX partners (Ituri) and Amnesty's partners (North Kivu) with a view to learn from each others experiences in monitoring security incidents and/or human rights violations/abuses and to help identify the training needs of PAX partners. It was agreed that Amnesty will train a select number of participants through a Training of Trainers on Monitoring, Documenting and Reporting (MDR) of security incidents that on their turn will strengthen the capacity of locall representatives from 41 community structures - with the support of AINL/HURICAP and PAX.
In addition, directly following the exchange visit, a needs assessment visit was carried out by AINL/HURICAP in Bunia and Mahagi, Ituri Province with the view to have a more complete picture of the organisations active in the Province, the burning and most relevant human rights issues in the region and to possibly develop a comprehensive intervention strategy for HURICAP/AINL.

The project is on track. PAX local partners and community structures started monitoring, documenting and reporting the security situation in their respective territories. Information collected is used to inform the local security councils as well as the lobby and advocacy activities targeting community structures. A follow-up training is requested by PAX and their partners for 2018.

Enhancing capacity to investigate/report human rights violations during police operations
This project is scheduled to start in July 2018, with a Needs Assessment Mission to Nairobi and Mombasa together with colleagues of Amnesty's Regional Office in Nairobi. Based on information received so far, the focus of this project will be to empower local partners in need of enhancing their capacity to monitor, document and report human rights violations by state agents, in particular police operations in informal settlements and police operations under anti-terrorism laws in Kenya. The first training will then take place in October 2018.
