Gilles Durdu, Julien Moriceau
Completed for International Federation of ACATs (FIACAT), the World Coalition against the Death Penalty
Between July 2018 and December 2021, the International Federation of ACATs (FIACAT), the World Coalition against the Death Penalty (WCADP) and their member organisations implemented the second phase of a programme that aims to abolish the death penalty in 23 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Co-funded by the French Development Agency, this second phase set out to:
1. Consolidate the transfer of skills and reinforce the abilities of member organisations,
2. Expand the international and regional obligations and commitments of the 23 targeted countries to abolish the death penalty and,
3. Raise awareness about the rationale for abolition with the public at large and with opinion leaders. Our experts at INANGA analysed various facets of the programme and provided various recommendations to the FIACAT, the WCADP and their partner organisations.
