A Human Rights-Based Approach to Programming (HRBAP) UN HABITAT Nairobi, Kenya 23-25 October 2013 Urban Jonsson
OUTLINE • Causality Analysis • Pattern Analysis • Capacity Gap Analysis • Identification of Priority Actions • An Example
THE UN COMMON UNDERSTANDING • Development cooperation should contribute to the development of capacities of ‘duty-bearers’ to meet their obligations and/or ‘rights-holders’ to claim their rights. (UN, May 2003)
ESSENTIAL AND UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS • Situation Analysis should identify immediate, underlying and basic causes of the non-realization of human rights (Causality Analysis) • Key claim-holder/duty-bearer relationships should be identified at all levels of society (Pattern Analysis)
ESSENTIAL AND UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS • An assessment and analysis should be made of the capacity gaps of claim-holders to be able to claim their rights and of duty-bearers to be able to meet their obligations. (Capacity Gap Analysis)
OUTLINE OF AN HRBAP • Causality analysis • Pattern Analysis • Capacity Gap Analysis • Identification of Priority Actions
CAUSALTY ANALYSIS (1) • “You find what you look for” (T. Kuhn) • “I shall make it as simple as possible, but not simpler” (A. Einstein) • “The most important thing is to ask the rights questions; the answers can be found by amateurs” (A. Einstein) • The need to agree on a Conceptual Framework of Causality
CAUSALTY ANALYSIS (2) • Identify and specify the major manifestation of the problem • Identify the key immediate causes • Identify the key underlying causes of the immediate causes • Identify the key basic/structural causes of the underlying causes
CAUSALTY ANALYSIS (3) RESULT: A set of rights not being realized and the subjects and objects of each right (claim-holders and duty-bearers)
Social, Economic, Political and Culture Process Malnutrition And Death Insufficient Dietary Intake Disease Inadequate Household Food Security Inadequate Maternal & Child Care Inadequate Health Service & Unhealthy Environment Inadequate Responsibility, Authority and Resources Social Processes And Generation of Capacity (Social Trends) Potential of Society Social Organization and Relations
SOME CONCLUSIONS • Facilitates a ‘focused’ analysis • Facilitates a multi-sectoral dialogue • Improves program preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation • Strengthens the advocacy to address basic causes
PATTERN ANALYSIS • Relationships between individuals in their roles as claim-holders and duty-bearers • Recognises duty-bearers’ own rights (claims) • The identified claim/duty relationships must adhere or derive from human rights principles • Multiple duties of duty-bearers
PATTERN ANALYSIS RESULT: A set of the most important Claim– Duty Relationships linking individuals in their roles as claim-holders and duty-bearers

HUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDS AND HUMAN RIGHTS PRINCIPLES Human Rights Standards The minimum acceptable level of a desirable outcome Human Rights Principles The criteria for an acceptable process
CAPACITY FOR ACCOUNTABILITY • Responsibility “should” • Authority “may” • Resources “can”
CAPACITY FOR DEVELOPMENT • Responsibility/Motivation/Leader. • Authority • Resources - Human - Economic - Organizational • Capability for Decision-making • Capabilities for communication
CAPACITY GAP ANALYSIS • Identify each claim-holder’s capacity gap for not being able to claim their rights • Identify each duty-bearer’s capacity gap for not meeting duties • Sort capacity gaps by category of capacity (responsibility, authority, resources etc.
CAPACITY GAP ANALYSIS RESULT: For each claim-duty relationship a list of capacity gaps of both the claim-holder and the duty-bearer.
IDENTIFICATION OF PRIORITY ACTIONS • Actions aim at narrowing or closing capacity gaps of claim-holders and duty bearers. • Actions are aggregated into projects, and projects into programmes with clear output and outcome objectives
GENERIC STRATEGIES Generic Strategies: • Advocacy/Social Mobilization • Information • Education • Training • Service-delivery/Investment
