The Advocacy and Campaigns units have mandated themselves to  work towards community development. the units will embark on a community watch exercises to find areas that need attention for redress. Coordinators will visit communities and meet focal persons who will guide them to make sure the units deliver.

This project is a watch dog to the people in the community, it will be basically focusing on issues that are happening in the communities so that they can be brought to  limelight when necessary.

This project will also be engaging the local government ie the local members of parliament, councilors and ordinary people from the communities.

It is our intention that the community watch project will lead into the development of  the community watch newspaper, which will be running on a monthly basis until the time when we will be able to do it on a weekly basis.

It will also involve everyone in the community as stakeholders  because what happens in the  community affects the community so the community itself has to take a leading role, {NOTHING FOR US WITHOUT US }.
