Register now for francophone NHRIs training and become a UPR expert

UPR Info organises practical training for the professional development of staff of NHRIs in francophone countries.

The programme aims to strengthen the capacity of NHRIs to engage effectively with the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).   

Whether your country is about to be reviewed or has recently undergone the UPR process, this training will provide valuable insights for engagement. NHRIs will be:

  • Enhancing their understanding of the UPR

  • Identifying concrete opportunities for effective engagement in the UPR

  • Expanding their knowledge on how to cooperate with other national stakeholders to promote and protect human rights

  • Exchanging experiences and best practices with their peer participating in the training

UPR Info e-Hub

Delivered through UPR Info’s e-Hub, an interactive e-learning platform focused on the UPR, the training offers live sessions with UPR Info’s facilitators and self-paced resources with text and video testimonies from experts. The platform includes a Community of Practice, a safe space to exchange good practices, challenges, and advice among peers.

The e-Hub is designed to facilitate your UPR experience and enhance your capacity for effective engagement.
