The Observatories of human rights are for the RADDHO, an instrument whose objective is to contribute effectively to the struggle for the promotion, protection and protection of human rights in Senegal, Africa and the world. The creation of Observatories has developed the anchoring of the RADDHO at national and subregional thus enhancing the credibility of the organization and its investigative capacity and awareness. The Observatories have become the nerve centres in regions and in some countries, and as such, facilitate and improve the work of regional offices and national serving as a basis for implementing all projects of the RADDHO. They have improved care for victims and violations of human rights.

Moreover, the Observatories have made possible a decentralization of work of the RADDHO, weaving and strengthening links between militants and Direction (National Headquarters) throughout Senegal and the subregion and allowing it to to listen to all members of the Organization.

However, the success of the largest Observatories lies in the institutionalization and the anchoring of regional branches of the RADDHO. By making the Organization more visible in regions of Senegal, the Observatories have also facilitated the promotion of human rights in:

► giving the militants regional offices the opportunity to meet more often to communicate more regularly to consult on a more systematic;
 
► strengthening the protection of human rights and developing the trust of local populations most vulnerable to the RADDHO, especially in matters hitherto regarded as taboo;
 
► influencing the administrative authorities (governors, prefects, sub - prefects, etc.) military and police (military commanders brigades and gendarmerie, police commissioners) in their treatment of problems related to violations of human rights.
 
► allowing a much more effective collaboration with partners. Convinced of the need for synergy between the various forces that are fighting for the same ideal, regional branches of the RADDHO have established relationships with local authorities customary, community-based organizations and other non - -- Governmental organizations.
