in Côte d'Ivoire, one of the challenges of normalizing the social fabric was to guarantee the security and tranquility of the population.

Above all, it was a question of making sure that all sorts of exactions, bullying, settling of scores of the military and police forces on the civilian population cease.

It is this objective that has guided the implementation of the concept of training and strengthening Capacities of military and para-military personnel in human rights and law International Humanitarian. Several seminars were organized as part of this initiative as early as November 2011. These trainings were conducted for the Republican Forces of Ivory Coast and assimilated and civil authorities (prefects, secretaries general of prefecture and sub-prefects).

Participants were educated on mechanisms for preventing and managing violations of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law.

Emphasis was placed on raising awareness of the importance and respect of human rights in the exercise of military, paramilitary and administrative functions.

The training structure, which has gained its acclaim because of the quality of its services and their impact on the target, later adopted the name of African Coordination of Human Rights for the Armed Forces (CADHA).

To date, CADHA, with the support of partners from the UN system and several national and international organizations, has trained many key players in the security apparatus.
