Rights-based Approach to Development

A Rights-based Approach to Development focuses on ensuring that everyone's rights—such as access to education, healthcare, and fair treatment—are recognized and protected as fundamental for development. It emphasizes empowering individuals and communities to claim their rights, holding governments and organizations accountable for upholding those rights. This approach shifts the goal from mere economic growth to promoting justice, equality, and human dignity, ensuring that development efforts benefit all, especially marginalized groups, and that no one is left behind.
