Since the mid 1990s, Equitas has developed and delivered a series of programs around the world to provide specialized training to officials from national human rights institutions (NHRIs) and government officials that focus on raising awareness of human rights principles and values and reinforcing the respect and fulfillment of Governments of their human rights obligations. Programs have addressed a number of themes, including the protection of migrant workers as well as the promotion of economic social and cultural rights.

Whenever possible and appropriate, Equitas strives to create spaces where government officials and representatives of NHRIs can come together with civil society organizations to create a common understanding of the challenges they face and to develop joint strategies. Representatives of government and NHRIs regularly participate in the Global Human Rights Education Program, the International Human Rights Training Program, the Migrant Workers Program and the Middle East and North Africa Program.
