We have set up four specialized units:

In these four areas of work, we implement capacity building programmes and provide legal and policy advice, conduct applied research, develop practical tools and build partnerships. We adapt our services to the needs of our partner countries and clients, combining practical work with academic concepts, while consistently striving for sustainable solutions of the highest quality.
