About Us


Introduction

At their ordinary meeting held on 23rd November, 2021, Board Members resolved, among other key issues to streamline Good Governance and Human Rights programs to facilitate community development. Previously, projects and interventions focused more on community development than good governance and human rights. However, members established that good governance and human rights are increasingly becoming the hallmark for not only sustainable development but al so meaningful economic growth. Where issues of good governance and human rights are disregarded in a democratic dispensation, community development collapses because theft, corruption and partiality on public resources stifle meaningful progress.
