 NHRIs should develop and keep an updated database/inventory of all places of detention within their respective jurisdictions including their locations, and names of inmates where possible.  NHRIs should undertake unannounced visits to all places where people are deprived of their liberty.  NHRIs should build their capacity to enhance their information acquisition, retention (institutional memory) and exchange. This should also encourage mentorship and exchange visits amongst NHRIs.  NHRIs should provide reports on progress made in the promotion and implementation of the RIG and this Declaration and Plan of Action (The Johannesburg Declaration and Plan of Action on the Prevention and Criminalization of Torture in Africa) in their Periodic reports to the African Commission. National Preventive Mechanisms  Synergies and joint actions should be developed between various oversight and monitoring mechanisms at national, regional and international levels to enhance effectiveness amongst institutions such as the State Parties, the African Commission, NPMs, NHRIs and SPT. Role of Civil Society Organizations  Civil Society Organizations should assist State Parties to ensure the wider accessibility of the Robben Island Guidelines to communities and stakeholders including to different tiers of government, educational institutions, law enforcement agents, and other professional bodies. This should include the translation, simplification and the use of all creative strategies to increase the coverage and reach of the document.  CSOs should provide technical support, research, advocacy, direct support services, and should mobilize communities to prevent torture and rehabilitate torture victims.  CSOs should take appropriate measures to support the work of the CPTA NHRIs, NPMs, SPT and other relevant mechanisms aimed at the prevention of torture and rehabilitation of torture victims.
