With offices in Ireland and East Africa, Network members (practitioners, academics and policy-makers) apply this in a range of interrelated contexts, including:

• Development
• Conflict prevention, mitigation, resolution
• Democratisation
• Humanitarian response
• Human rights fieldwork
• Corporate responsibility

In these areas, the Network creates, applies and learns from, Human Rights Based Approaches through:

• Own-initiative projects: of Network members
  
• Consultancy: as independent advisor it tailors multi-disciplinary teams to provide support at all stages of the management cycle from problem analysis through to evaluation.
  
• Learning: pooling experience through a cycle of participatory activities including training, research and consultation
  
• Pro bono support: for other not-for-profit organisations which share the Network’s core principles. Central to this activity is the mentoring of young human rights advocates in developing countries
  
• Advocacy: the Network acts as an advocate of change, independently and in coalition with others

Distilled from its experience, and its policy positions, the Network has developed a number of core principles which it applies in its work]]> http://development-jobs.com/
