About the Partnership
The TriPartite Partnership to Support National Human Rights Institutions (TPP) is enjoyed by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Formed in 2011, the TPP is a mechanism to mobilize and leverage the various mandates of the partners to support strategically NHRIs, their representative Regional Networks, and the global body of NHRIs.
Annual Review objectives
The annual review meeting of the TPP aims to foster closer collaboration between the UN system and national human rights institutions (NHRIs), their regional networks, and GANHRI.
By promoting an exchange of information, knowledge, good practices, challenges, and crystallizing capacity needs through a virtual dialogue, the TPP partners and broader stakeholders in the UN system set joint and complementary priorities for engagement and support to NHRIs over the forthcoming year.
The 2022 TPP Annual Review meeting (TPP 2022) consists of two sessions: a public-facing side event and a Partners' Meeting. Throughout these two sessions, the TPP 2022 provides an opportunity for:
-
NHRIs to directly interact with the UN system, be apprised of key developments in the UN in relation to their work and provide important country, regional, and global level experiences and knowledge to UN partners;
-
The UN system and NHRIs to discuss key development and human rights challenges facing NHRIs and prioritize joint work for the forthcoming year;
-
Awareness raising and knowledge exchange on the important contributions of NHRIs in advancing human rights, development, and peace and security.
Partners' Meeting
The Partners' Meeting is an invite-only session that will take place virtually on 30 November 2022 from 8:00-11:30 am EST.
The meeting will focus on strengthening collaboration amongst TPP partners to support NHRIs in the below priority areas:
-
Capacity Assessments
-
Sustainable Development Goals
-
Digitalization
-
Climate Change
The meeting will provide an opportunity for partners to exchange experiences, discuss challenges and opportunities, learn from the broader UN system, and inform the TPP's efforts in the years to come.
