Implementing Rule of Law in Angola
We equip and empower Angolan Agents of Change (AAC) with needed transformative tools focused on identifying unconstitutionalities, introducing evidentiary rules in the judiciary decision-making mechanisms to secure morality and justice and less bias in the system of facts finding, litigation technique and skills to reverse arbitrary and false judgements. We also provide training in public leadership, advocacy, and negotiation skills development to make agents of change become more strong enough and wise enough to advocate, implement, and enforce rule of law policies deemed to transform organizations, communities, nations, or our world for the benefits of people.
