Résumé
This contribution agreement represents Canada’s fourth phase of long-term institutional support to the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC). AIHRC uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate.
The AIHRC is an independent national body with the mandate to promote and protect the human rights of Afghans, and to investigate alleged human rights violations. It provides human rights training within the government, for the Afghan National Army, the Afghan National Police, and the judiciary, as well as in schools. It also promotes laws that protect the interests of vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, and works to raise the Afghan populations’ awareness of their rights.
Canada’s contribution supports the AIHRC in implementing its 2019-2023 Strategic Plan which focuses on leadership, promotion of human rights, empowerment, and protection and monitoring of human rights. Project activities seek to strengthen the AIHRC’s leadership on human rights issues in Afghanistan, and its abilities to: (1) deliver human rights education to help Afghans understand, respect, and exercise their human rights; (2) empower the Afghan government and civil society to better protect, promote, and monitor human rights; and (3) advocate at regional, national, and international levels for the realization of human rights.

Description (French)
Cette subvention représente l’appui institutionnel à long terme du Canada à la Commission afghane indépendante des droits de la personne (CAIDP). La CAIDP utilise ces fonds, ainsi que ceux d’autres donneurs, pour réaliser son mandat. La CAIDP est une institution indépendante reconnue à l’échelle internationale mandatée en vertu de la Constitution dont l’objectif est de promouvoir et de protéger les droits de la personne, et de surveiller et de documenter les violations à ces droits en Afghanistan. La contribution du Canada appuie la CAIDP dans la mise en œuvre de son plan stratégique de 2019-2023 qui met l’accent sur le leadership, la promotion des droits de la personne, l’autonomisation, et la protection et la surveillance des droits de la personne.
Les activités du projet comprennent ce qui suit : (1) fournir une formation sur les droits de la personne au sein du gouvernement, de l’Armée nationale afghane, de la Police nationale afghane, et du système judiciaire, ainsi que dans les écoles; (2) surveiller les violations des droits de la personne et fournir des rapports réguliers et publier des communiqués de presse; (3) tenir des enquêtes nationales, des audiences et des conférences publiques sur les questions liées aux droits de la personne; et (4) formuler des recommandations exécutoires au gouvernement de l’Afghanistan pour modifier les lois et politiques liées à la protection et au respect des droits de la personne. Toutes les activités du projet visent à accroître la mise en application, le respect et la protection des droits de la personne pour tous les Afghans.
