ACCA Conference and General Assembly

The African Coalition for Corporate Accountability (ACCA) and the Initiative for Social and Economic Rights (ISER) will host this conference under the theme: “Reclaiming Public Services in Africa.” The conference theme draws inspiration from the recent General Comment No. 7 of the African Commission on Human and Peoples, which acknowledges the state’s primary obligation to provide public services and provides a framework to regulate private actors. This conference will bring together a diverse range of actors from the fields of human rights; civil society, academia, legal practitioners, community members, and policymakers to deliberate on the impact of commercialization and privatization on social services.
