LEPnet - International Applied Research Learning Network on Poverty and Human Rights
The International Applied Research Learning Network on Poverty and
Human Rights (LEPnet.org) is a project of The University of Winnipeg
Global College. The network stems from the work of the UN Commission on
the Legal Empowerment of the Poor which issued its final report in June,
2008 entitled "Making the Law Work for Everyone." The network has been
developed to serve as a portal through which a diversity of
organizations’ contributions to the field of poverty and human rights
are channeled, as well as to be a collaborative space where researchers
and practitioners can collaborate on the development and publishing of
new research and learning materials.
It is a secure, easy-to-use web forum that provides a platform for information sharing and capacity building to promote Legal Empowerment of the Poor. Members are encouraged to get involved by using the site to access learning materials, publish research, share collaborative documents, update
blogs, research reports, and develop a library of best practices. The
Global College Knowledge Facilitator helps to strengthen collaborative partnerships and support more effective dialogue and action on poverty and human rights. Join now!
