Strategic Litigation.
Seinoli leverages strategic litigation to create policy changing precedents. Strategic litigation and the power of legal precedents ensure that success of a single, carefully selected ‘test case’ can result in a significantly greater number of people who can benefit from the judgment and receive similar relief. A case selection criterion is used to achieve this, which supports cases that involve specific issues of interest to affected communities.
Capacity Strengthening of Communities:
Our capacity strengthening interventions equip
communities with the necessary legal skills and tools to engage with project implementers on an equal
footing. This results in legally informed and strong communities that are able to identify and articulate
their rights, aware of the legal remedies available to them, and empowered to utilize relevant remedies
to safeguard their resources, build resilience, and hold government and project implementers
accountable.
Advocacy
Our advocacy strategies enable higher levels of public awareness and accountability
regarding the impact of large infrastructure development projects on communities. We do this by
collaborating with local and regional civil society organisations. We also use strategic
communications and the media to raise public awareness, amplify community voices, and enable
higher levels of accountability regarding the consequences of these projects on communities, leading
to several positive outcomes.
