Coming Events
Rights-Based Approach Evaluation, Learning and Resources [Over
the last several years, various UK-based international development NGOs have begun to systematically apply a rights-based approach (RBA) to their programming. Building on collaboration over the last year to promote learning around rights-based programming, as well as discussions with DFID in December 2003 and June 2004, the inter-agency group would like to undertake a new initiative. The next stage of our joint learning process will explore the fundamental assumption that underlies our commitment to addressing rights through our work: Implementing rights-based approaches increases our program impact, and we can demonstrate that impact. With the support of DFID, the agencies will conduct evaluative case studies, joint country-focused learning workshops and synthesise findings that will examine the impact of RBA on the multidimensional experience of poverty tackled by our projects.
Findings from this initiative will be useful not only to participating organisations; they will also be disseminated throughout the development field so we can share valuable lessons learned with others and ultimately, we expect, strengthen the case for applying RBA].
