WAPILC In Africa!___________________
The West Africa Public Interest
Litigation Center (WAPILC) based in Abuja, Nigeria, was developed as a
collaborative initiative between the Foundation,
its partners, and a broad range of civil society
organizations, including key stakeholders in the
sub-region.
The West Africa
Public Interest Litigation Center (WAPILC) is
currently incubated in OSIWA but ultimately
meant to be an independent center championing a
particular aspect of OSIWA’s mandate.
WAPILC seeks to
promote human rights by improving the rule of
law and access to justice for citizens of the
sub-region.

the research and publications mandate of WAPILC
and seeks to collate cutting edge ideas and
expositions on Public Interest Litigation (PIL)
in the West Africa sub-region. This maiden
edition of the Quarterly will briefly discuss

achieve and how exactly it will go about
achieving its aims and objectives. Click
