Delegation of the EU to Timor-Leste (EUDEL)
The project is implemented in close cooperation with the EU Delegation in Dili and especially the Ambassador/Head of Mission, the DEVCO and the Communication Offices.
Beside providing essential technical support for the correct implementation of the action, the EUDEL role is crucial in facilitating institutional dialogue with the main national and international institutions, successfully organising outreach events and campaigns, and defining visibility and sustainability strategies.

IHRP lecturers are involved in teaching and tutoring students and trainees, as well as supporting internationalization of the new HRC and facilitating its introduction to the main regional human rights education networks.
