Our fellows are able to have enriching and successful fellowship experiences because of the grassroots organizations that host them. The Third Millennium Foundation partners with established organizations on the ground and can immerse the fellows in field experience. Our fellows greatly benefit from the experience of working alongside colleagues in the field of their choice, facing the same challenges they face on a daily basis.

- Inst. for Human Rights Development Africa
- Region: Gambia, Africa
- Issues: Human Rights, Transitional & Restorative Justice
- Mission Statement: The Institute for Human Rights and Development
in Africa (the Institute) was founded and established in 1997 in Banjul,
The Gambia, by two human rights lawyers who had previously worked for the
Secretariat of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. The
vision for the Institute was a Pan-African non-governmental organization
with the specific objective of advancing the respect for human rights in
Africa.
The Institute's mandate is to increase the effectiveness and accessibility of the human rights protection mechanisms of the African Union, since the most imminent challenge blocking the effectiveness of the African human rights system is a lack of awareness concerning its procedures. The Institute has undertaken to promote respect for human rights on the continent by strengthening the human rights institutions in Africa, ensuring compliance with the existing norms and making the system widely accessible to victims of human rights violations and other actors of civil society.
The Institute believes that African human rights law can be a powerful tool for advocacy and justice if civil society has the necessary information and training to use treaties effectively. The Institute also believes that sustainable development must harness the existing will, energies, and vision of the population. Accordingly we strive to promote awareness of human rights and development concerns in Africa and to create an environment that is conducive for the full realization of development by means of the advancement of human security for all Africans through the effective implementation of the African human rights instruments.
