The International Human Rights Internship Programs (IHRIP) mission and work are based on the belief that human rights activists have knowledge and skills, as a result of their day-to-day work, that are important to the success not only of their own work, but the work ofother activists and organizations, whether in their own or in other countries and regions.

The human rights movement--in specificcountries and regions as well as internationally is strengthened through the exchange of this knowledge, experience and expertise. In line with this conviction, IHRIP makes grants available to humanrights organizations in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, the Caribbean, East and Central Europe and CIS countries to enable

their staff to undertake professional development exchange projects.

A project can be:

* A professional attachment, through which a staff member from an organization in one country serves as a temporary staff member of a host organization in another country, acquiring on-the-job training in a specific area of work or skill.

* An on-site training, in which an individual from one country who has particular experience and expertise in a specific area of work provides training to the staff of an organization in another country.

* A study tour, through which a staff member from an organization learns more about a specific area of work or about a particular

strategy or approach to work by visiting and consulting with two or more human rights or human rights-related institutions in one or more other countries.

N.B. IHRIP gives low priority to support for attendance at courses or workshops. Proposals for such support will be considered only in cases where the desired training is narrow in focus and fulfills a clearlydefined institutional need.

Deadlines for applications: - April 30,

2007 - August 31, 2007 - December 31, 2007.

A grant covers the travel of the staff member or trainer as well as a basic living stipend and health insurance for the staff member (or trainer). Grants vary depending on the location and length of the project, and typicallyrange from $1,000-10,000. IHRIP is unable to support:

- academic research or study

- training where the applicant and proposed host organization ortrainer are in the same country. IHRIP facilitates the exchange of

experience among activists and organizations in different countries

- training for officials or employees of government or quasi-governmental agencies or bodies
