Patricia Narsu Ndanema

Commissioner Patricia Narsu Ndanema (Mrs.) is the chairperson of the Human Rights Commission Sierra Leone, an appointment I took up in April 2019. Was amongst the first set of staff members recruited by the HRCSL in 2008 when it took up effective operations in 2007. In 2013, Commissioner Ndanema left the HRCSL as Senior Human Rights Officer in the Directorate of Education, Communication and Training following nomination by the HRCSL to the African Union (AU) to be amongst the first set of African Human Rights Observers to be deployed in Mali and subsequently in Burundi, where I was charged with the responsibility to observe, monitor, document, engage appropriate authorities on human rights violations and report to the African Union and other partners intervening in the field of human rights.
