training that HRCU conducted from 15th – 16th October, 2015 at Liesseux Guest Centre, Fort Portal, a
number of recommendations were made including having follow up meetings on the
operationalisation of the referral pathway; having more training on the use of
the Data Management System to track and report human rights violations and
abuses and; more training on the different categories of violations and abuses
of human rights and the laws for promoting and protecting the rights of HRDs.
