CIIDH was founded in 1993
with the objective of promoting and defending human rights in
Guatemala. It has experience in monitoring military budgets, but has
primarily focused on issues of researching and advocating for first and
second generation rights. Their 2003–2005 strategic plan includes
strengthening institutional capacities to monitor government spending
against ESC rights commitments, and building the capacity of several
urban and rural coalitions, movements, and networks to do the same. |
| Major Current
Activities |
CIIDH is a
CSBI grantee
and currently seeks to monitor and better align government expenditure
with the government's commitment to ESC rights; and improve budget
transparency and public management. |
