DFID commissioned Triple Line Consulting to carry out a scoping study of global good practice on human rights with a view to learning from other donors, multilateral institutions, the private sector and NGOs working on human rights issues in development. The purpose of the study was to look beyond DFID’s own experience to produce a broad mapping of examples of projects and initiatives which demonstrate the inter-relationship between and the impact of human rights on development. This preliminary scoping study was to provide a foundation for an in-depth review of selected global good practice case studies at a later stage.
Services provided
Triple Line carried out internet research and a literature review and formal email enquiries by DFID to OECD-DAC and PPA partners and other organisations known to have a strong link between rights and development. This process led to a collection of over 300 examples of interest which were then filtered down to a distillation of around 150 examples of potential interest and a description of key examples were provided in the scoping paper.
Achievements
Best practice on access to rights were presented for rights to food, water, education, health, housing and women’s rights and next steps for integration into DFID performance indicators.
