Human Rights Agenda (HURIA)

National non-governmental organisation. Based in: Kenya. Active at least since 2026. Main sector: human rights and democracy.

Human Rights Agenda (HURIA) is a rights-based, sub-national not-for-profit organisation headquartered at the Coast of Kenya. Established in 2012 in the wake of the transformative aspirations of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, HURIA was founded to ensure that constitutional guarantees do not remain abstract commitments, but become tangible realities for historically marginalised communities. HURIA operates at the intersection of human rights, governance reform, security sector accountability, access to justice, climate justice, and youth democratic participation. The organisation bridges community realities with policy reform processes, translating grassroots evidence into legislative advocacy, institutional engagement, and systemic change. Rooted in Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, and Lamu counties, HURIA maintains deep community legitimacy built on sustained accompaniment, solidarity-based engagement, and responsive legal support. At the same time, it has cultivated structured relationships with national oversight institutions, Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), constitutional commissions, and international partners.
