Human rights and development cooperation

We strive for the systematic integration of human rights as a crucial element of development cooperation and we strive for structural changes that lead to fairer and more balanced global development. Within the framework of our activities we perform education, policy analysis, advocacy activities and development projects.

At our work, we focus on the importance of human rights to improve the effectiveness of development cooperation and we explore changes that human rights make in the life of excluded individuals. We are also researching the role of the human rights, i.e. human rights based approach in the key development issues such as national, regional and global development policy, environment, trade policy, migration policy, poverty reduction and the information society.
