Claiming the MDGs: A human rights approach

OHCHR

Published in : 2008

Available in : English

This publication sets out a human rights approach to the MDGs, the primary purpose of which is to outline a clear framework of analysis for the development sector, relevant also to the needs of human rights practitioners, identifying entry points at the policy level as well as for country-level programming and advocacy. Practical illustrations are provided throughout, along with suggested additional indicators for particular MDGs, as contributions to sectoral strategies and MDG monitoring and reporting.

The analytical framework has four key elements:
- Align the Millennium Development Goals with human rights
- Be transformative, not technocratic
- Prioritize rights
- Claim the Millennium Development Goals
