Objective of this training programme

Reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of human rights based development, the programme is aimed at individuals from a range of disciplines  (law and other social sciences, project management, etc), with experience in developing and industrialised countries: public officials; regulatory bodies; international civil servants; bi-lateral donors; non-state actors as well as policy advisors/project managers. Case studies will in particular be drawn from the areas of Health, Education and Justice reform. The programme is of particular relevance to officials or consultants providing technical assistance to bi- and multi-lateral donors (see IHRN Expert Database.)       

Methods

The Programme uses a variety of pedagogical techniques; including presentations, plenary discussions, group work and role-plays, case studies, etc. The Programme is highly participatory and emphasises cross-learning among participants, based upon advance reflection. Advance reading provides participants with a common grounding in the international legal framework and human rights based approaches.

An indicative programme will be available in Autumn 2013, and will be up-dated in light of the profiles of confirmed 2014 participants.
