Background<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) is the worldwide membership-based network of national human rights institutions (NHRIs).\r\n\r\nGANHRI promotes and strengthens NHRIs to be in compliance with the Paris Principles and provides leadership for the promotion and protection of human rights.\r\n\r\nGANHRI provides a framework for NHRIs to work together and cooperate at the international level. We coordinate a wide range of activities, including annual meetings, international conferences, networks, training and capacity building.\r\n\r\nGANHRI works in close partnership with the United Nations Human Rights Office \u2013 specifically with the National Institutions and Regional Mechanisms Section (NIRMS) \u2013 and with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). We also work closely with the four regional networks of NHRIs, in Africa (NANHRI), the Americas (RINDHCA), the Asia Pacific (APF) and Europe (ENNHRI).\r\n\r\nGANHRI is registered in Switzerland as a not-for-profit association. Our Head Office is located in Geneva at the Palais des Nations.\r\n\r\nThe UN General Assembly on 16 December 2021 adopted a resolution, by consensus, calling on all relevant UN bodies and processes to further enhance the participation of NHRIs.\r\n\r\nThe resolution highlights the important contribution made by NHRIs to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms. It encourages all States to establish and strengthen independent and pluralistic NHRIs, in line with the Paris Principles, recognising the important role they play in assisting States to progress implementation of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.\r\n\r\nThe resolution is critically important step to ensuring the UN and its mechanisms make meaningful space to receive and act upon the information that NHRIs and other domestic human rights actors can offer. As such the resolution is an important step forward in building bridges with NHRIs and ensuring that the voices of those on the ground are heard across the UN system.\r\n\r\nBuilding from and with an aim of promoting implementation of the resolution, GANHRI is seeking the services of an International Consultant to support the development of a strategy, setting out background; options; risks and opportunities; as well as a suggested roadmap forward.
