    Report of the Review (2007-2009) and Appraisal (proposed phase 2010-2012) of Manusher Jonno Foundation
    Report of the Review (2007-2009) and Appraisal (proposed phase 2010-2012) of Manusher Jonno Foundation / Salahuddin M. Aminuzzaman. - Oslo : Norad, 2010. - 30 p. (NORAD collected reviews ; 26/2009) Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF) was created by a Human Rights and Governance Initiative (HUGO) funded by the Department for International Development (DFID). The HUGO programme originated in CARE/Bangladesh but later turned into an independent Bangladeshi institution as MJF in 2002. In January 2006, MJF was registered as an independent Trust with the Government of Bangladesh. The overall objective of MJF was to create within Bangladesh an institutional leader in human rights and governance programming with the capacity to garner international support. The ultimate goal of MJF is to make poor women, men and children more able to achieve their civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights and to improve their security and well-being. One recent review observed that “MJF has established itself as a national leader in human rights and governance. MJF has positioned itself as a repository of information and a "clearing house" for human rights and governance ideas and strategies. Manusher Jonno Foundation currently funds 123 national (and some international) partner NGOs. The individual partner projects are organized under seven major programmatic themes that represent the institutional priorities within the human rights and governance agenda. These thematic programmes are 1. rights of marginalized populations; 2. violence against women; 3. child protection; 4. workers' rights; 5. access to justice; 6. Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), 7. Governance Performance Monitoring. In addition two other programmes like Capacity building and Communication & Media are carried out as cross cutting activities under such programmes are integrated within the other thematic programme areas.
