Activities in this area include training courses for activists and academics, publishing papers on UN procedures with an African focus.

Research: to conduct. commission and publish reliable and objective research about human rights in Africa;

Documentation: to build a human rights library and documentation resource available to anyone interested in African human rights. The Documentation Centre welcomes publication exchanges with African and other NGOs.

Publications: to publish a regular, bilingual Newsletter and series of Occasional Papers on African human rights.

Training and Education: to organize training seminars , conduct a review of human rights education in Africa and prepare for an annual human rights course.

Internship Programme: to enable African and other interns to learn from and contribute to the work of the African Centre.

Women’s Programme: to address specific issues of “women’s rights as human rights”. The thrust of this programme takes off from the awareness that the recognition of women’s rights is central to setting Africa to rights realising the crucial role women play in the social and cultural processes in the lives of communities on the continent.

African NGO Networking and Institution Building Programme: to coordinate and promote the activities of African human rights NGOs and  assist in building their resources and capacities  for more effective work in their areas of operation.
