New Tactics Partnership Grants

The New Tactics in Human Rights Project has been working to raise resources that will assist human rights organizations around the world to share New Tactics ideas, tools and materials in their own countries and regions in order to apply strategic and tactical thinking to their own issues. Since 2004, New Tactics has received a number of grants that have made this effort possible, we thank the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (2004-05); Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Foundation (2005-06) and the National Endowment for Democracy (2006 - 08). These grants have ranged from USD250 to 7,000.

Currently, New Tactics has received a grant from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED): "Resources for Strategic Thinking and Tactical Innovation in Local Human Rights Struggles" which provides the opportunity for New Tactics to work with up to eight partner organizations beginning 01 December through 31 July 2009. These funds are intended to make it possible for human rights practitioners to share, translate, adapt and/or apply the New Tactics materials and resources for strategic and tactical innovation in local human rights struggles as well as share examples of innovative tactics with a broad range of people.

Here are a few examples of how our partner organziations have used the funds in the past:

  • CameroonOur grant recipients at the Cameroon Trauma Center have been using New Tactics to build and strengthen relationships with Allies. Working with several women's organizations, they looked at the tactic Powerful Persuasion and developed creative and innovative ways to solve the problems of early marriage and lack of education for young girls.
  • In Kyrgyzstan, the Citizens Against Corruption (CAC) has been using New Tactics materials to bring insight and justice to the recent election, women's issues and the mining industry. They used and translated the Familiar Tools, Emerging Issues notebook into Russian and Kyrgyz. This helped them monitor the recent election and mobilize the youth to try and rectify the anomalies they discovered.
  • In Indonesia, the PEC (People's Empowerment Consortium) has used New Tactics materials to further the discussion and open new avenues for action regarding the truth and reconciliation process. In addition, PEC translated the New Tactics in Human Rights: A Resource for Practitioners into the Indonesian language. The translation is available for free download.
