Global Documentation for Accountability Initiative

This global program will support the documentation of human rights violations and abuses and transform this information into credible, actionable, policy-relevant data that can support U.S. and allied sanctions, visa restrictions, law enforcement, DRL’s annual Human Rights Reports, diplomatic engagement, and other accountability measures. By improving the volume, quality, accessibility, and analytical use of locally generated information that meets the evidentiary standards used by the United States and U.S. allies for human rights-based sanctions, visa restrictions, and other accountability tools, the program addresses critical gaps that limit the operational use of documentation efforts and enables burden‑sharing.

The following organizations are eligible to apply: • Not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations (U.S.-based and foreign-based) • Public and private educational institutions • For-profit organizations or businesses
