Our mission

HURICAP supports human rights organizations and activists in Africa and the Middle East to defend the rights of their communities.

This is primarily done through technical assistance in human rights documentation, research, and advocacy. HURICAP works closely with in-country partners in Africa and the Middle East to develop projects that generally involve clear agreements on training, coaching, financial and material support, as well as on expected outcomes and results.

In addition, HURICAP develops training material and handbooks to give guidance to human rights activists when researching and tackling specific human rights issues.
