Strategy for the NHRF 2026-2030

The global human rights landscape is facing intensifying challenges through a decline in democracy and respect for human rights, combined with dramatic cuts to aid and human rights funding. Despite this, strong civil societies and human rights defenders continue to drive positive change, underscoring the need for the kind of support the NHRF provides.

In this context, we aim to continue to be a courageous and flexible donor and partner, acting in solidarity with grassroots organisations and human rights defenders around the world. Our mandate is clear: To protect human rights globally through supporting human rights locally.

Our strategy for 2026-2030 outlines how we will continue to support frontline human rights work in the coming years.
