Au Rwanda, notre partenaire FOJO mène le développement d’un programme d’études modernisé qui met davantage l’accent sur les compétences pratiques en journalisme. Le projet a favorisé des liens plus étroits entre l’école de journalisme et l’industrie des médias, ce qui a permis de renforcer les liens académiques avec d’autres universités de la région.

Inter- State and Regional collaboration
The heartbeat of a vibrant civic society pulses with the energy of interstate and regional collaboration. As a powerful consortium, we’ve witnessed an exhilarating synergy transform the civic landscape across our region. Our partner, CIVICUS Alliance, has led the charge, orchestrating dynamic engagements that unite civic organizations in an inspiring tapestry of cooperation.
In the heart of Kigali, Rwanda, CIVICUS’s funding catalyzed the birth of the Rwanda UPR Coalition Civic Space, a formidable alliance of 20 members, including 15 civil society organizations and 5 media entities. From its inception, this coalition has ignited awareness campaigns, sparked fiery radio debates, and hosted transformative TV workshops, all championing the crucial theme of freedom of expression. They’ve not only engaged with the Ministry of Justice to shape the UPR roadmaps but have also convened powerful advocacy meetings focused on Freedom of Association and the pivotal issue of NGO registration.
The spirit of peer-to-peer learning thrives within the CIVICUS mandate. In June 2024, human rights defenders from Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, South Africa, and Rwanda converged in Naivasha, Kenya, for an electrifying training session on the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process.
Spearheaded by CIVICUS alongside the Centre for Minority Rights Development (CEMIRIDE) and DefendDefenders under the CHARM consortium, this training equipped participants with vital insights into the UPR process, from preparation and submission to effectively following up on recommendations.
Meanwhile, in Zambia, CIVICUS has been a catalyst for change, empowering GEARS and other partners to engage vigorously with regional and international mechanisms like the ACHPR and the UN Human Rights Council. Through impactful advocacy initiatives—lively side events, strategic lobbying, and compelling statement presentations—we’ve brought the pressing issues surrounding civic space in Zambia to the forefront. This relentless effort culminated in the historic passing of the Access to Information Bill, 2023, granting every citizen the right to request unclassified government information on any matter of public interest, a triumph for transparency and empowerment.
