Developing the Program of Action Without Adequate Ownership by NHRI: Afghanistan


Example: Developing the Program of Action without adequate ownership by NHRI: Afghanistan.

The Project to Support the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) was implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR). The Project was intended to be an effective mechanism for supporting the AIHRC to become functional and to build capacity. The AIHRC itself, however, determined that the programme of action defined in the project document did not meet its real strategic needs.
