General Information

International Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR) is a non-profit organisation established under Belgian laws. It is managed by a director in charge of day-to-day management, whose work is overseen by the board of directors currently composed of three members. A general meeting of all effective members is held annually in June to approve the accounts and budget (and appoint new directors). IPHR is a young organisation (it was established in the spring of 2008), but has developed at a steady pace ever since. Its budget of just over 17,000 Euro in 2008 has nearly doubled every year since. The main sources of funding are grants (from the EU, private foundations, etc.) and consultancy fees. IPHR works together with human rights groups from different countries on fundraising, project development and implementation, monitoring, research, publication and advocacy. It offers consultation services and carries out joint projects with partner organisations. Some of IPHR's current partners include: the Netherlands Helsinki Committee, the Norway Helsinki Committee, Bridging the Gulf Foundation, etc.
