The corporate sector can contribute to positive social and economic development when efforts involve government actors, civil society, and local communities in planning and decision making. Extractive companies in particular are often associated with extensive impacts on the security and human rights of people in the communities where they operate. DCAF’s Security and Human Rights Implementation Mechanism (SHRIM) is a multi-donor trust fund committed to supporting on-the-ground implementation of security and human rights good practice in a coherent, sustainable and cost-effective way.
The SHRIM supports multi-stakeholder engagement across business, governments and civil society that contributes to security, development and respect for human rights in fragile contexts. Furthermore, the SHRIM funds security and development projects in fragile contexts and fosters public-private cooperation at local, regional and international levels. To ensure the sustainability of its projects and multi-sector partnerships, the SHRIM prioritizes local ownership, knowledge sharing and capacity building amongst the actors participating in SHRIM projects.
