Secretariat services and funding provided by ACHPR.

3. Challenges encountered January 2005, CPTA adopted a plan of action, but never implemented Lack of financial ressources: before 2009 no specific budget allocated to SM (e.g. CPTA couldn’t formaly meet or undertake any activity between ) Lack of Secretariat staff dedicated to the mechanism (e.g. one legal officer servicing several Special Mechanisms) Lack of coodination and adequate communication between members

3. Challenges encountered Lack of clear policy of the ACHPR on Special Mechanisms (SM) Way in which funding is allocated to SM by the ACHPR (no specific amount allocated to each mechanism, common envelop to all mechanisms for promotion missions, first arrived first served)

4.Progress/achievements Despite of these challenges, some progress have been made, particularly since 2009 thanks to APT support (provided CPTA with an Assistant) and the allocation of some funding to SM by ACHPR Dissemination of RIG: publication of RIG booklet in 4 AU languages (2003)
