Commitment to popular Participation
IHR&CV as a human rights organization values community engagement and people’s participation in policy processes. For this reason all IHR&CV led initiatives will always remain participatory, consultative and people-driven.
Openness to mutual & continuous learning
IHR&CV is open and ready to give information to and learn from its members, partners, state agencies, public authorities and community groups with whom we work. This has been possible by development of a very open and effective communication and information sharing strategy that encourages easy flow and exchange at all levels.

This involves building local capacity, mobilizing civil society groups to play watchdog and oversight roles and joining hands with others to engage in policy influencing work.
