What is a rights-based approach? What is the added value of a rights- based programme? How can rights-based programming be translated into practical tools for planning, monitoring and evaluating projects and programmes? These are some of the questions Save the Children and other rights-based organisations have been asking themselves in recent years. This book draws on Save the Children’s experiences with rights-based approaches in East and South-East Asia and to some extent on work in South Asia and the Pacific. Save the Children has promoted rights-based approaches through training workshops, programme reviews, discussions, documents and practical programme experimentation. All of this work is based on a firm commitment to human rights and the fundamental principles of universality, indivisibility, accountability and participation.
