Team

The Community of Practice on Business and Human Rights in Africa (BHR Africa) is an online platform initiated by the Responsible Business Institute Africa (RBI Africa). Our dedicated team is committed to driving conversations, fostering collaboration, and mobilizing support from businesses, lawyers, and international development actors. Our ultimate goal is to develop an Africa-focused agenda on Business and Human Rights that promotes equal opportunity for participation from grassroots communities and other right holders across the continent.

At BHR Africa, we firmly believe in upholding the dignity and respecting the human rights of people, communities, and the environment in the context of business operations and investments in Africa. Our team brings together diverse expertise, experiences, and perspectives to ensure the development and implementation of sustainable and responsible business practices.

Through our online platform, we aim to create a space for meaningful engagement and exchange of ideas, where stakeholders can collaborate, learn from each other, and collectively work towards a shared vision of promoting business practices that respect and protect human rights in Africa. We are dedicated to fostering dialogue, providing resources, and facilitating knowledge sharing to empower individuals, organizations, and communities to make a positive impact.

Together, we strive to make a difference by shaping the Business and Human Rights Agenda in Africa, promoting responsible business conduct, and advocating for the inclusion of all stakeholders in the decision-making processes. We invite businesses, legal professionals, development actors, and individuals passionate about human rights and sustainable development to join us in our mission to create a more just and inclusive business landscape in Africa.

Join us as we work towards a future where business practices align with human rights principles and contribute to the overall well-being and prosperity of African societies.
