Profile of Western Himalaya Research and Development OrganizationIntroduction:

Western Himalaya Research and Development Organization was established in Gilgit-Baltistan province of Pakistan on January 2007. Western Himalaya Research and Development Organization is a social sector development organization and is involved in the provision and management of technical assistance in areas of operations research, project design & management, monitoring & evaluation and Health Systems Strengthening. We work with provincial governments, international development agencies and civil society organizations in Pakistan to help design, implement and evaluate policies, programs and projects in the public sector arena.

Pakistan is signatory to many rights related international instruments and covenants. However, there is still a huge need to translate Pakistan’s international commitments into actual real life practices, more so in Public Sector arena. To begin with, many public sector institutions themselves have to do a lot to conform to the government international commitments.

Among the most important agreed to rights instruments are the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ESCR), the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (CPR), the 1989 Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC). Among the rights explicitly protected by these various declarations and covenants are the rights to life, access to and enjoyment of a decent standard of living, adequate health facilities and well being, protection from disease, access to adequate food (Food Security) and access to safe water and sanitation.

Inferring from the above, the objectives of the Western Himalaya Research and Development Organization will be to promote the realization of following rights instruments in the public sector arena as agreed to by Government of Pakistan:

Universal Declaration of Human Rights Convention on Rights of Child Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR)
