Promoting public procurement as a tool to be used to protect and fulfil human rights whilst deliver on SDGs.

Human rights abuses can occur at different tiers of supply chain and against a range of different groups such as workers, communities and end-users.

 

Our mission is to create international network that collects and disseminates good procurement and human rights practices and build capacities of stakeholders.

Public procurement accounts for a significant part of State’s public expenditure and GDP.

Changing procurement patterns impact greatly on human rights throughout supply chains. Our leadership team bring years of experience to bear on the challenges that making that change entails by supporting procurement bodies to integrate human rights into their procurement practice.
