CAPACITY BUILDING

This is built on the principles of empowerment, participation and inclusion, which are at the core of our mandate and central to human development. This is because we see disempowerment, discrimination, voicelessness, marginalisation and exclusion as major causes as well as results of poverty, conflict and suffering.

This programme is tasked with the responsibility of training and imparting vital knowledge and skills to ADSOCK members and the public on a range of issues including; human rights, leadership, Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV), Sexual & Reproductive Health, HIV & AIDS, Peace Building and Conflict resolution.
