CSAAE- Soko Soke/Park Well This project is titled: “Soro Soke or Park Well”. “Soro Soke” is a Nigerian slang of Yoruba extraction that translates to “speak up.” Literally, the project translates to: “Speak up or Park Well”; Park Well, being a common street slang used by the Nigerian Policewhen confronting Nigerians. It is during this confrontation that most brutalities and violation of human rights of youths happen.

Project is brought by a consortium of three Civil Society Organizations working in the field of advocacy, youth development, governance programming, policy development/analysis, women health and economic rights, persons with disability rights and vulnerable support. The organizations include:

• The Centre for Social Awareness, Advocacy and Ethics (CSAAE).
• Youth Empowerment Solutions ProjectInitiative (YES-P).
• Centre for Health Education and Vulnerable Support (CHEVS).

The project seeks to ensure that police brutality and violation of human rights of youths is brought to an end by educating Nigerian youths on their rights before the police – so they know when their rights are abused – and how to engage the police when confronted or under arrest to prevent conflict; Providing effective reporting system to report brutalities and rights violations; Tracking reported and unreported cases and working with support groups to engage the appropriate police authorities to ensure that justice is delivered; Providing support resources that youthscan reach out to for help when confronted by police.

Specific actions proposed under this project are:

• Build a formidable network of 72 vocal youth advocates (2 from each state) committed to monitoring and tracking implementation and compliance of new police regulations in their communities. We shall train and equip these young people with the skills and tools to monitor and report their findings.

• Assemble a team of pro bono lawyers and legal experts to seek justice for Nigerians facing trumped up charges for agitating for better governance.

• Engage government at all levels (Federal, State and Local) through dialogue and non-confrontational approach to pressure them into compliance with the #5for5 demands of Nigerian youths.

• Strategic lobbying of lawmakers to enact laws and policies that advance the achievement of the demands for good governance entrenched in the #5for5 demands.

• Sustain the “Soro Soke” spirit by continuous engagement and preservation of the Nigerian digital space with emphasis on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

• Virtual public trainings and sensitization of Nigerians on how to effectively engage the Nigerian police and understand their rights and limitations in cases of dispute.

HO-503001 Timewriting Oxfam (consortium lead) and CNV Internationaal (lead partner) have participated actively in the RSPO, focusing their efforts on promoting and strengthening the principles and criteria (P<(>&<)>C), as well as the protocols and guidelines related to human rightsandcommunities involved with and often affected by palm oil operations, including workers, indigenous communities, women, and human rights defenders, as well as human rights organizations. The effective implementation of standards, policies, and protocols requires the active and qualified participation of these groups, who are familiar with these tools and know how to use them. Effective implementation also requires the RSPO and the companies auditing its standards to be familiar with the social movements, labor unions, and human rights organizations, to ask for their assessments in certifying or evaluating a company. In
this regard, the objectives of Oxfam and CNV Internationaal in their work in RSPO are very much aligned with the objectives of the RSPO outreach program, which seeksto ensure informed and qualified participation from communities and workers of the RSPO at all levels, establishing stronger linkages with the RSPO through intermediary organizations, and for civil society organizations (CSOs) and local governments to be aware ofthe RSPO and its mechanisms, facilitating active and informed community participation in the implementation of sustainability efforts by producers and palm oil companies.
