Strategic Plan 2023-2027
The current strategic plan, formally adopted at the GANHRI 2023 March General Assembly, covers the period 2023-2027 and defines GANHRI’s roadmap for the next five years and beyond.
The Plan has been developed, in a multi-phase consultative and highly participatory process involving GANHRI members, GANHRI Head Office, GANHRI Bureau members, regional NHRI networks, UN partners, NGOs, and other stakeholders.
The 2023-2027 Strategic Plan outlines how GANHRI will work together with UN, civil society, and other partners to address pressing human rights challenges, including climate change, ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, war and conflict, a rise in authoritarian regimes, and a shrinking civic space.
The Plan sets out how GANHRI will support new and existing National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs), strengthen their capacity, bring them together to share expertise and approaches, and amplify their voice to influence global policymaking.
Implementing this Strategic Plan will also further consolidate GANHRI’s work and impact, continuing to position it as a well-governed network that serves its members effectively.
GANHRI’s strategic plan has four strategic objectives to support and strengthen NHRIs worldwide:
| Strategic Objective 1 | Strategic Objective 2 | Strategic Objective 3 | Strategic Objective 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| GANHRI supports the establishment, strengthening, accreditation, and capacity development of NHRIs, and their protection when exercising their mandate | GANHRI unites its members at the global level, bringing them together to collaborate and engage with one another and others | GANHRI provides leadership in the promotion and protection of human rights, bringing the voice of NHRIs to relevant UN and other global fora | GANHRI operates as a professional, effective, well-governed and efficient organisation |
| We will do that by: – Establishing NHRIs to be in line with the Paris Principles – Supporting and strengthening members’ capacity – Accrediting and promoting compliance of NHRIs with the Paris Principles – Supporting NHRIs under threat | We will do that by: – Bringing the Global Alliance together for decision-making – Supporting the Global Alliance for capacity building – Connecting GANHRI members for knowledge exchange | We will do that by: – Promoting and sharing NHRI expertise – Advocating participation to NHRI – Assisting NHRIs to engage with the UN – Supporting and promoting thematic priorities | We will do that by: – Clarifying roles and responsibilities within the Global Alliance – Building coherence with the regional NHRI networks – Strengthening our communication – Strengthening our collaboration with partners and stakeholders – Diversifying our funding |
