(b) Forms of cooperation 78.

Civil society should be equipped for humanitarian intervention, including in respect of preparing relevant documentation and working with children, women and persons with disabilities. More work should be done to prevent and manage conflict; (d) African regional human rights mechanisms could work together with the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child to encourage ratification of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. 4.
