The United Nations Development Program (UNDP), under its Human Rights and Justice Program (HRJP), has launched Low-Value Grants (LVG) to foster small scale innovative actions to address human rights issues during and after COVID-19 situation in Bangladesh, engaging civil society organizations (CSOs) and community radio.
 
Under this initiative, supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), UNDP in partnership with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) called for innovative ideas, actions, and approaches to solve human rights problems and challenges, leaving no one behind, in different thematic issues.

The Human Rights and Justice Program, with funding support from SIDA and SDC, has been working with the state-based institutions, particularly the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), to strengthen its capacity to better deliver on its mandate and the law-enforcement agencies (police, in particular) to defend and protect human rights, said UNDP on Monday.
