CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
8th East Africa Human Rights Program (EAHRP)
To be held in Tanzania: February 2-14, 2025
DEADLINE TO RECEIVE APPLICATIONS SEPTEMBER 13, 2024
The current global context has highlighted the ever-important need for human rights work and human rights education. We are, therefore, pleased to announce that the call for applications for the 2025 East Africa Human Rights Program (EAHRP) is now open.
This training program is designed and implemented by East African alumni of Equitas’ annual International Human Rights Training Program and the East Africa Human Rights Program (EAHRP). The 2025 EAHRP is hosted by TUSONGE Community Development Organisation. The EAHRP is a regional training program targeting participants from East African Countries. Now in its 8th edition, this two-week national training session brings together around twenty (20) participants from the East African human rights community and provides a unique opportunity for human rights workers, defenders, activists and educators to deepen their understanding of human rights and the essential role of human rights education in effecting and sustaining social change.
The program provides a unique opportunity for participants to enhance their knowledge about human rights and better address the challenges they face, thereby strengthening the effectiveness of their human rights initiatives. The program’s participatory methodology provides a framework for the sharing of expertise experience, and reflection among a tremendously diverse group of participants, facilitators and highly qualified resource persons. The program contributes to networking at both the national and regional levels and to collaborative partnerships among representatives of civil society, national human rights institutions, regional, and international organisations, and governments.
We invite your organization to submit an application for this program and/or forward the information to your network of human rights activists and educators. The Application Form, Program information and Memorandum of agreement are attached.
In identifying who should apply, please bear in mind that the EAHRP is primarily intended for Human rights workers/Defenders and Educators. The goal of the EAHRP is to strengthen the capacity of human rights organizations and individuals to undertake human rights education efforts (e.g., training, civic awareness, campaigns, information dissemination and advocacy) aimed at building a regional culture of human rights.
