IHRN undertakes own-initiative activities as well as commissioned assignments for states, UN agencies, EC and NGOs.

To promote positive change IHRN deploys individual experts and teams from a range of disciplines. IHRN has been selected by the EC to provide services under a multi-year framework contract commencing November 2009, called 'Lot 7 Governance & Home Affairs'. Experts are identified through the IHRN database.The areas covered by Lot 7 range from public administration reform, police, security sector reform, support to civil society, Parliament etc. The areas are set out in more detail here.

To register on the database, click on the box above for steps 1 to 4. The final stage involves up-loading your CV in the standard format required by the EC. You may wish to prepare this before up-loading it on-line, so guidance for completing the required CV format is available here. If you are interested in assignments in French or Spanish, the French CV template or the Spanish CV template are used.

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

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

Pro-bono: Individuals who have undertaken paid work with IHRN are invited to allocate a modest amount of desk-based pro bono time to support IHRN's  partners in developing countries. Examples include providing feedback on a project proposal by an NGO or career/education advice to individuals being supported by IHRN.
