The Global Campus of Human Rights is excited to announce its partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in an ambitious human rights promotion programme supported by the European Union in Pakistan.
Over the next two years, the Global Campus, alongside its regional hubs in Asia-Pacific and Central Asia, will work closely with UNDP’s country mission, the EU Delegation, and a consortium of four leading Pakistani universities to further human rights higher education. This collaborative effort will focus on a wide range of activities, including providing technical support and academic guidance for the establishment of a Human Rights Education Centre in Lahore. The initiative will also involve developing innovative curricula and learning tools and creating international mobility opportunities for Pakistani students and scholars.
This project is part of the EU’s flagship programme, Human Rights Huqooq-e-Pakistan II (HeP II 2024-2028), which aims to strengthen the promotion, protection, and realization of human rights across Pakistan. HeP II is built on four strategic pillars: partnering with the government to enhance human rights implementation and reporting, collaborating with human rights institutions to strengthen their watchdog roles, promoting human rights education through universities, and engaging the private sector to support human rights protection within business practices.
With its well-established global expertise, the Global Campus of Human Rights has been selected as a key partner to help advance the third pillar of this comprehensive program. The project aims to support students, academic institutions, and civil society organizations in advancing human rights education in Pakistan.
This project is part of the GC Capacity Development programme.
