Israel: Trócaire’s Governance & Human Rights programme in OPTI
Country: Israel, occupied Palestinian territory
Closing date: 30 Aug 2013
Trócaire is an Irish organisation, a member agency of the Caritas and CIDSE networks, and has development and humanitarian programmes in over 20 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Organisational programme areas include: Governance and Human Rights, Livelihood Security, Gender, HIV and AIDS, and humanitarian response. Trócaire’s approach is to work with local partner organisations, supporting their work as catalysts for development.
Trócaire’s work on Governance & Human Rights seeks to challenge the social, economic and political structures that exacerbate injustice and exclude people. Protecting and empowering vulnerable and marginalised people who are at risk of human rights violations is a key approach to programming.
Trócaire has been working in Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel (OPT/I) since 2002, initially through an emergency appeal, which was subsequently expanded into a Human Rights programme from 2006 onwards. The programme’s focus is on developing the capacities of local organisations to uphold human rights and international law in OPT/I. This G&HR programme attempts to address the root of the problems in OPT/I today – the climate of impunity which surrounds the violations of international law in this conflict, and focuses on holding authorities to account for those violations.
