Stakeholders Engagement Programme (SEP)

Engaging children in human rights follow-up
From 2008 to 2018, a significant component of UPR Info’s work consisted in engaging with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and Recommending States to promote and advance human rights. However, a universal and inclusive call for action requires the participation of a wider range of actors. To make the UPR mechanism a powerful tool capable of improving the human rights situation within UN Member States, UPR Info launched the Stakeholders Engagement Programme (SEP) in 2018.
This Programme aims at increasing the participation of key national and international stakeholders in the UPR in an effective and strategic manner to bring about change at the national level.
We work with :
|
States |
Civil society organisations (CSOs) |
|
Journalists and media representatives |
Human rights defenders (HRDs) |
|
National human rights institutions (NHRIs) |
Parliamentarians |
|
Students and academics |
UN Agencies and UN Country Teams |
The SEP uses a broad spectrum of integrated tactics:
Capacity building
Enhanced the capacities of over 300 stakeholders, including young human rights defenders, by providing targeted training and support.
Building Networks and Partnerships
Successfully organized collaborations with universities across multiple countries in 2024, fostering international academic partnerships and promoting human rights.
Developing Tools and Analyses
Developed tailored modules aimed at fostering youth engagement advancing human rights through UPR recommendations.
By implementing these tactics, the SEP contributes to achieve UPR Info’s strategic goal aimed at promoting and protecting human rights through the UPR mechanism. In this framework, we provide support on specific focus themes:
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
National Human Rights Institutions
Integrating SDGs in the UPR
Youth Participation
