The Arab Human Rights Fund (AHRF) makes grants in the two areas:
    * Methods: approaches or tools for realizing human rights;
    * Emergent opportunities: new and promising developments that have the potential to promote the advancement of human rights.

These areas will be expanded and others added as the Fund raises resources to fund human rights initiatives in the region.

AHRF considers that all human rights (civil, political, economic, social and cultural) and indeed all countries and sectors within the Arab region, fall within its mandate. AHRF is looking for innovative ideas and methodologies that reach broad constituencies and enhance the capacity to develop new strategies and approaches.
