UNDP under its Business and Human Rights in Asia (B+HR Asia) project aims to enable Sustainable Economic Development in the region, through the Protect, Respect and Remedy Framework of the UN Guiding Principles (UNGPs) on Business & Human Rights (BHR). The project promotes the agenda on BHR by working with Asian governments, businesses and civil society in the implementation of the UNGPs at the national and regional level. The overall objective of the project is to prevent, mitigate and address human rights conditions in business operations and enable a more level playing field for businesses that demonstrate respect for human rights. As a key regional development partner, India plays a central role in promoting the implementation of the UNGPs in Asia.

Within the above context, in order to enable businesses to respect human rights IICA in collaboration with UNDP India has come up with a three month online programme, IICA Certified BHR Professional.
