1. Background
The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law is an
independent academic institution, founded in 1984 and affiliated with Lund
University in Sweden. The Institute contributes to a wider understanding of
and respect for human rights and international humanitarian law. The vision
of the Institute is just and inclusive societies with effective realisation
of human rights for all. In light of this, the Institute contributes to
strengthening structures, systems and mechanisms for the promotion and
protection of human rights at all levels in society. RWI has since 1990
been implementing a wide range of human rights capacity development
programmes for institutions in developing countries, mainly with the
support of Swedish Development Cooperation (Sida). These programmes and
projects have primarily targeted state agencies in the field of
administration of justice, academic institutions and National Human Rights
Institutions (NHRIs). RWI’s global thematic focus areas are economic
globalisation, inclusive societies, people on the move and fair and
efficient justice. For more info, please visit: (www.rwi.lu.se).
RWI has supported actors in the field of human rights in Asia since the
mid-1990s through both bilateral and regional programmes. RWI’s regional
cooperation in Asia focused for a long time on strengthening institutional
capacities of academic institutions to carry out human rights education and
research, and of NHRIs to fulfil their protection and promotion mandates.
In recent years, RWI has increasingly focused cooperation in Asia on the
field of human rights and the environment, linked to the sustainable
development goals.
RWI launched a new regional programme for the Asia Pacific in 2017,
entitled “RWI Regional Asia Programme on Human Rights and Sustainable
Development 2017-2021” (hereinafter “the programme”) funded by Sida. The
programme started with a pilot phase during 2017, aimed to validate and
consolidate strategies and partnerships for the implementation phase
2018-2021. The overall programme objective is to contribute to a just,
inclusive and sustainable development in the region through mutually
reinforcing protection of human rights, gender equality and the
environment. The 2020 programming focuses on thematically underpinning
activities and promotion and dissemination of interlinkages on human
rights, gender equality and the environment, which include
1) Increased capacities among targeted academic institutions in the Asia
Pacific region to mainstream human rights and gender-based approaches to
displacement in the context of disasters and climate change
2) Improved local stakeholders’ capacities for effective realization and
fulfilment of environment-related human rights, gender equality, and SDGs.
3) Relevant coalitions, networks and collaborations have their knowledge
bases strengthened and expanded on human rights, gender equality, and
environment.
4) Increased public awareness and discourse of the interlinkages between
human rights, gender equality and environment.
More specifically the programme includes numerous different activities
specified in the Programme document and annual workplans. Relevant for the
services of the Graphic Designer is the thematic study on the right to a
safe, clean and sustainable environment in Southeast Asia and the Policy
Brief Series for four target groups.
