The Danish Institute for Human Rights and the Association of European Development Finance Institutions (EDFI) have agreed to work together on considerations related to human rights and remedy.

This work programme is ongoing and it is anticipated that further updates will be provided as the work advances.

This work builds on prior collaboration between DIHR and EDFI to provide voluntary guidance on the integration of human rights considerations into its members’ environmental and social (E&S) procedures.
