Given the relative nascence of police oversight and accountability as an area of both academic and professional endeavour, the issue has, despite its obvious and critical importance, a limited profile in Africa.There are few people that actively operate in the field, and who can boast a complete set of skills, particularly in the area of police oversight. The Centre for Human Rights (CHR), in partnership with the African Policing Civilian Oversight Forum (APCOF) and the African Men for Sexual Health and Rights (AMSHeR), are presenting a short course on Police Oversight and Accountability in Africa.

Applicants from around the world are invited. However, the course will have an African focus.
