Based in Suva, Fiji, RRRT works in eight focus countries in the region - the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
We assist partner organisations, both State and non-State, with capacity building for human rights. We work at the macro level with policy makers, parliamentarians, judges and magistrates; at the meso level with institutions like the police, social welfare and teachers; and at the micro community level with NGOs and communities themselves.
| Training & advocacy
Established in 1995, we are a pioneer of human rights training across the region ... our highly qualified team of legal and community development trainers design and deliver comprehensive, sustained, quality training programmes tailor-made for all levels of government and civil society, from MPs to rural community-based advocates, from social workers to judges.
RRRT provides professional and technical support, and acts as a resource base for information. We offer expert advice to government and civil society in the development of national human rights advocacy, lobbying and mobilisation strategies, as well as advise on the development of national human rights, gender and youth policies and the drafting of national human rights legislation. We also offer technical input to governments and civil society organisations concerning obligations in relation to international human rights conventions.
