Bah, Senior Programme Officer at NCCE, highlighted the importance of building capacity in local governance and ensuring that human rights principles guide development processes. He said the 2024 State of Human Rights Report commissioned by the National Human Rights Commission underscores persistent challenges in promoting rights-based practices at the community level. Despite decentralization being a key driver of inclusion and accountability, he noted, many communities still lack the tools to effectively engage their councils.<\/p>\n<p>Bah added that the training seeks to deepen participants\u2019 understanding of the Local Government Act, promote the integration of human rights in decentralized structures, and strengthen skills to monitor, report, and advocate for inclusive development. \u201cThis is not only about learning laws and policies. It is about transforming governance into a participatory process where citizens\u2019 voices are heard and respected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
