The representatives present had the opportunity to give a brief overview of the work done by their respective organizations, and to inquire about the Committee, and the African Commission’s work. Committee members also informed participants present how to interact with the African Commission, through obtaining observer status with the Commission, submitting reports to the Commission, involvement in the NGO Forum and through submitting individual complaints or communications for consideration.
