- formulating advocacy and public awareness tools to share analyses and recommendations on emblematic human rights issues with key stakeholders
- initiatives to boost collaborative and coordinated advocacy, including between and within grassroots, regional and Colombo-based organisations
Creating space for memorialisation:
- targeted interventions to facilitate dialogue among key stakeholders on the importance of creating space for memorialisation
- initiatives to document, archive and share memory and oral history relating to politically turbulent periods
- creating public awareness tools on the significance of memorialisation towards achieving reconciliation and transitional justice
