Together with each International LEPH Conference, LEAHN convenes a two-day pre-conference Consultation, bringing together police, CSOs and NGOs, government and multilateral agencies, researchers and advocates. These Consultations address key current issues and produce useful outputs and products, as determined by wide consultation with stakeholders before the meeting.
Every effort is made to support LEAHN CFPs to the Consultation and Conference; special training, networking and site visits are routinely arranged.
