Current interventions include the development of a pilot process for sectoral human rights based approaches in Uganda focusing on three core sectors of Justice, Law and Order; Education and Health. The process is aimed at developing and implementing strategies for the integration of human rights based approaches in the planning, budgeting, implementation and monitoring of programmes and activities in these sectors so as to enhance the effective enjoyment of human rights including the right to education, the right to health and justice sector human rights standards such as the right to a fair trial

IHRN EA is also in the process of developing a five year strategic plan for the Uganda Prisons Service. The aim is to initiate an institutional change process from a largely custodial perspective to focus on rehabilitation and transformation of offenders into responsible citizens.
