The IHRN Expert Database

What it is

IHRN programmes combine own-initiative activities with commissioned activities such as advice to states, UN agencies, intergovernmental organisations and other NGOs.

To promote positive change IHRN deploys individual experts and teams from a range of disciplines. Teams are formed from the IHRN database.

Experts on the Network database may propose initiatives to IHRN or they may be invited to provide consultancy services to IHRN programmes. Assignments vary in duration (days, months, years) and location (deskwork, overseas).

Teams are supported by the IHRN core team in developing and applying human rights based approaches tailored to each assignment.

Pro-bono: Individuals who have undertaken fee-paying work with IHRN are invited to allocate time for a modest amount of desk-based pro bono time to support IHRN's pro bono work. Examples include providing feedback on a project proposal by a developing world NGO or career/education advice to individuals being supported by IHRN. This service is voluntary.
