The Strategic Plan of the NHRC 2019-2022 seeks to strengthen the operations of the Commission in line with its expanded mandate enshrined in the National Human Rights Commission (Amendment) Act 2010 as the foremost national institution for the promotion and protection of all human rights guaranteed by the Constitution, other national laws, regional and international legal instruments on human rights".
The report of the Rapid Institutional Assessment (RIA) carried out by the Bureau for Public Service Reforms in 2017identified some of the challenges that have hindered the Commission from effectively carrying out its functions and made robust recommendations to address the challenges. This coincided with the appointment of a new Executive Secretary with a vision and drive to reposition the Commission. Accordingly, the current administration accepted to implement the recommendations of the RIA Report among which is the development of a Strategic Plan”.
