Edward Francis Small Centre for Rights and Justice

We are an independent Gambian civil society organization dedicated to defending human rights, advancing justice, and empowering citizens through bold, principled advocacy and public engagement.

What We do

Our Areas of Intervention

Human Rights Protection

We defend the dignity and freedoms of all individuals by advocating for the protection and promotion of human rights through legal aid, awareness campaigns, and community-based interventions.

Justice and Legal Accountability

We work to ensure that the justice system is fair, independent, and accessible in holding institutions and individuals accountable for violations and abuse of power.

Governance and Transparency

Through research, advocacy, and public engagement, we promote good governance, ethical leadership, and institutional transparency in both public and private sectors.

Civic Engagement and Public Education

We empower citizens especially youth and marginalized groups through civic education, leadership training, and participatory platforms that encourage active involvement in democratic processes.

Environmental Justice and Land Rights

We advocate for the protection of natural resources and community land rights, ensuring that environmental decisions are fair, sustainable, and respect the rights of indigenous and rural populations.

Partnership and Solidarity

We collaborate with local, regional, and international partners to build a united front for justice, amplifying voices and pooling resources for greater impact.

Make a Difference. Stand for Justice. Empower Communities.
