Law & policy reform

Through the law & policy reform programme, MCCHR aims to provide a platform for a participatory law- and policy-making process in Malaysia by building networks, fostering collaboration, and strengthening coordination between civil society and the government. Under this programme, MCCHR organises multi-stakeholder dialogues, technical expert briefings, public consultation forums, and other engagements with civil society organisations and government agencies.
