How INHR Helps You Reach Your Goals
Our Approach
INHR is a team of experienced diplomats and policy professionals who can enhance your organization’s interaction with the United Nations and its specialized agencies. We know the UN and its agencies inside and out and can use that knowledge to leverage your organization’s profile and promote the issues you care about in international Geneva and around the world.
INHR can help maximize your leverage and your positive exposure, no matter what aspect of the UN is most important to you. We train. We advise. We negotiate. We educate. We draft interventions, resolutions, and articles. We monitor and report. We publicize and create side events. We build coalitions. We provide support staff ranging from interns and secretaries to seasoned diplomats and lawyers. We provide all these services at a fraction of the cost of sending a new representative to Geneva. Moreover, INHR helps you hit the ground running: You don’t need to study new issues or glad-hand for contacts because we already know them.
