To further strengthen our international ties and promote international discourse on accountability in human rights we have been diligently working on our next edition of the Academy and Conference Series “Human Rights Go Local – What Works”.
Through our next Academy and Conference “Local Governments and Human Rights-Based Budgeting: Pathways to Accountability” from 2 to 5 February 2026 together with our partners UNESCO, UN-Habitat, OHCHR, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe and UCLG we will be contributing to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights issued landmark call to build economies that advance human rights for all.
The Academy will offer an opportunity to exchange and disseminate best practice approaches followed by local governments in developing and implementing human rights-based budgeting approaches. Plenary sessions and workshops will bring together human rights experts and practitioners from the local, regional, national and international levels to discuss challenges, solutions and best practices. By focussing on the practical aspects of adopting and implementing human rights-based budgeting, the Academy aims to help local governments promote accountability effectively and efficiently.
