Democracy right defenders
Defenders of Human Rights and Activists of Democracy play a unique role in monitoring the compliance of States with international human rights instruments, imperatives of democratic reforms and promotion of sustainable development. Although the latter is largely dependent on the first two, it should be noted that approaches that exclude full consideration of Sustainable Development Goals, specifically goal 16 and 17 have not been effective enough to solve or propose a model leading to the active participation of African countries in achieving these objectives in the medium and long term.
