Last updated October 28, 2026 5 Days Expert Instructors Certificate Included Online & In-Person Part of TrustGate's [ Advocacy, Human Rights & Development programme ](https://trustgatecorporateskills.com/topics/advocacy-human-rights-development)Human rights, policy advocacy and rights-based development programming for practitioners and organisations across Africa. ## Course Overview This executive programme introduces participants to the interconnected relationship between international human rights, accountable governance and sustainable development. As governments, international organisations, development agencies, civil society organisations and responsible businesses increasingly recognize that sustainable development cannot be achieved without respect for human rights, institutions are expected to integrate principles of equality, inclusion, participation, transparency and accountability into their policies, programmes and operations. The programme provides a comprehensive understanding of how international human-rights principles and standards can be translated into institutional policies, public programmes, development initiatives and accountability mechanisms. Participants will examine the practical relationship between human rights, good governance and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with particular emphasis on the principles of equality, non-discrimination, meaningful participation, transparency, accountability and Leaving No One Behind. Through practical analysis and institutional applications, participants will explore how organisations can identify human-rights and governance gaps, strengthen participation and accountability, promote inclusive development and align institutional priorities with sustainable-development objectives. **Share this course:** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-human-rights-governance-sustainable-development-course-programme) [Twitter](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-human-rights-governance-sustainable-development-course-programme&text=Human+Rights%2C+Governance+%26+Sustainable+Development+Course) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-human-rights-governance-sustainable-development-course-programme&title=Human+Rights%2C+Governance+%26+Sustainable+Development+Course) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Human+Rights%2C+Governance+%26+Sustainable+Development+Course%20https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-human-rights-governance-sustainable-development-course-programme) ## Learning Objectives - Explain major international human-rights principles and standards. - Examine the relationship between human rights, governance and development. - Apply rights-based approaches to institutional decision-making. - Identify governance and human-rights risks. - Strengthen accountability, transparency and participation. - Integrate human-rights principles into development programmes. - Link institutional strategies to the SDGs. - Address inequality, exclusion and discrimination. - Strengthen stakeholder participation. - Develop practical institutional human-rights and development strategies ## Course Content ### Module 1: Foundations of International Human Rights 1.
