The AFN Human Rights Facilitator Competency Framework has been developed by the AFN facilitators and will continue to evolve as it is implemented, monitored and evaluated. The APF Human Rights Facilitator Competency Framework Human rights facilitation is a participant-centred practice that encourages the understanding and application of human rights norms, principles, values and mechanisms. Being an effective human rights facilitator involves having the appropriate knowledge, skills and personal attributes to effectively plan, deliver, monitor and evaluate a human rights education activity. This takes knowledge, practice and commitment. The APF Human Rights Facilitator Competency Framework (FCF) is made up of a set of capabilities that identify the key elements for effective facilitation. They have been developed by AFN Facilitators working in sub-regional groups2. The FCF is divided into three competency groupings: • Knowledge competencies – what the facilitator needs to know about. • Technical and professional practice competencies – what the facilitator needs to be able to do. • Personal competencies – the personal traits that the facilitator brings to their work. Each competency has matching performance indicators.
