  • Train organisations to use the Human Rights and Business tools;
  • Use and adjust the tools to the local circumstances and needs;
  • Raise awareness of the tools and its appliance to companies;
  • Raise awareness about human rights and business among both civil society and the private sector.

The project will run until the end of 2008
