The African Coalition for Corporate Accountability (ACCA) was launched with the support of Global Rights in November 2013. It gathers civil society organizations working on issues ranging from mining and other extractive industries, public and private security sector accountability, natural resource rights, including land acquisition, tenure, and property rights, financial regulatory policy, as well as accountability mechanisms for human and people’s rights, and environmental rights. ACCA uses policy advocacy, evidence-based research, capacity-building, and technical support to promote community rights, as affected by businesses, at regional and international levels while also focusing on national domestication and implementation of regional and international mechanisms.
Mission
ACCA’s mission is to facilitate a cross-border alliance to create a strong and united African network of civil society organizations and communities, that seek to protect and promote human rights in the context of business activities. The ACCA provides a regional platform to share information and knowledge among its members and communities, and between ACCA and other coalitions and organizations.
Notre travail dans le domaine du financement du développement
ACCA focuses on different work streams, including: access to remedy, free prior and informed consent (FPIC), the Treaty process, and Chinese investments in Africa. It engages in different activities, such as advocacy work at the international level and capacity building to empower its members’ skills on access to remedy, FPIC and the Treaty process on Business and Human Rights. ACCA collaborates also with different stakeholders around the world on specific cases related to human rights and corporate accountability.
