Plan International African Union and Pan Africa Program Office - PASAP - Jobs in Ethiopia

Overview and purpose of the workshop

The Pan African state Accountability Project (PASAP) is a multi-partner, multi-level Pan-African project that runs from January 2015 to June 2019 (with one year extension period 2018-2019). The project currently is at the final year of implementation for Phase I and a proposal already submitted for Phase II of PASAP. The project is overall coordinated by the Plan African Union Liaison and Pan Africa Program Office.

The project will hold its fourth year (July2018-June 2019) project review meeting in Kenya in June 2019. The workshop will bring together Plan International and partner CSO organizations and networks under PASAP, namely African Movement for Working Children and Youth (AMWCY), the Institute of Human Rights and Development in Africa (IHRDA), Centre for Human Rights-University of Pretoria (CHR-UoP), African Child Policy Forum (ACPF), East African Child Rights Network (EACRN), Child Rights Network for Southern Africa (CRNSA), West Africa Civil Society Forum (WACSOF) and ROAJELF. In addition, an important stakeholder in the implementation of PASAP, the Network of African National Human Rights Institutions (NANHRI) will also participate in the meeting.

Through a consultative process involving partners and key stakeholders, the meeting aims to undertake a strategic review of the progress of PASAP in its fourth year (extension year) of implementation and also reflects on the overall project achievement, challenges and lessons learnt during the four implementation years. The meeting also facilitates brief planning and start-up discussion for PASAP phase II drawing from lessons learnt.

Addressing key aspects relevant for the project, mainly on mainstreaming of gender and enhancing synergy and knowledge management amongst all PASAP stakeholders is also an important focus of the meeting.

In addition, it will seize the opportunity and focus on how girl’s rights can be mainstreamed in our future engagement.
