A new directory, *The Status of Human Rights Organizations in Sub-Saharan Africa*, has been published by the International Human Rights Internship Program (IHRIP) and the Swedish NGO Foundation for Human Rights.
Based on field research during the period November 1993 through March 1994, it lists, describes and provides contact information on organizations in 26 countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Eritrea, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia and Zimbabwe). There is also a short background note on the situation in each country, and a list of the individuals interviewed by the visiting researchers.
The preface notes that it is not a comprehensive inventory, and that some of the information may be quickly outdated. But the compilers, along with the nine researchers, all themselves involved in human rights work and the majority themselves Africans from countries other than the ones they researched, have provided an excellent resource for all those concerned with advancing human rights on the continent.
