This global initiative funds projects that document human rights violations and convert this information into credible, actionable data. The data supports U.S. and allied sanctions, visa restrictions, law enforcement, annual Human Rights Reports, diplomatic engagement, and other accountability efforts. The program enhances the volume, quality, accessibility, and analytical use of locally generated information meeting evidentiary standards for human rights-based sanctions and accountability.
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based and foreign not-for-profit organizations, think tanks, civil society/non-governmental organizations, public and private educational institutions, and for-profit organizations or businesses.
