The human rights, resources and results department drives institutional advancement and strategic development. We manage external relations and fundraising, short and long-term human resource contracting, partnership and donor compliance, monitoring, evaluation, accountability, institutional learning, outcome harvesting and grants administration.

The department coordinates donor dialogue and fundraising efforts between the headquarter office in Copenhagen and country offices around the world and support human rights experts and cooperation modalities. We actively engage with donors (pre-contract, mid-contract changes, extensions) and identify opportunities where we can have a strategic impact in terms of promoting and protecting human rights.

The department guides internal and external steps towards compliance with relevant aid management guidelines and frameworks based on our track record of experience with the donor or partner in question. Compliance with our compliance steps and gates is a sine qua non; and on every step from project idea note developments to concept note and proposal development we provide guidance and support with identifying the required background documentation and annexes etc. to procurement portals of a changing donor landscape with existing and new institutional donors, foundations and beyond.

The MEAL team (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning) within the department supports performance in our international work by promoting and facilitating continuous internal learning. We do this through documentation of how we achieve our results and the use of digital tools to facilitate the use of the documented knowledge in everyday work.

MEAL aims to facilitate that strategic and programmatic decisions and adjustments are based on systematically collected data and documented outcomes. This is done through outcome harvesting, learning effect measurement and data analytics and reporting.

We help ensure a consistent quality of our work by supporting all staff in achieving a clear understanding of our way of working as well as the relevant skills and knowledge to succeed. This is done by documenting and using concepts and methods, learnings from evaluations and through a structured on-boarding process.

We use the expertise and solutions to facilitate the use of digital content and tools for internal and external capacity building. By making our digital learning content publicly available on our learning hub, we widen the field of practitioners in development agencies, state institutions and civil society organisations who can benefit from our expertise.
