One of IHRDA's primary functions is to provide training to human rights workers. IHRDA seeks to inform human rights workers of the tools available to them when working on human rights cases, specifically the provisions of the African Commission on Human and People's Rights (ACmHPR) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC). IHRDA also seeks to educate human rights workers as to the mechanisms of the African Committee on Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC).
IHRDA's workshops service individuals developing both national and continental human rights cases. Currently IHRDA offers workshops in four categories:
- African Human Rights Procedures
- The Gambia Legal Capacity Building Project
- Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights
- Children's Rights
The content of the workshops in each of these categories can be explored further via the IHRDA website. Additionally, IHRDA has published reports of the curriculum and proceedings of these workshops, in so doing giving human rights workers and lawyers yet another resource.
**As a side note, I think I'm going to need to start a list of the acronyms associated with African human rights law and organizations. The majority of the websites used for research merely give the appropriate acronyms instead of the full organization name which can be very confusing for the reader! **
