- How to advocate for civilian protection to the African Union
- Around the world, most people agree that governments must be the ones responsible for making sure that their people are protected. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. In this case, it is the responsibility of both intergovernmental organisations, like the AU, and international organisations, such as CSOs, to help protect civilians. This toolkit is designed for African civil society organisations (CSOs) who want to learn more about civilian protection and how to advocate for it to the African Union (AU).
