development cooperation agencies, UN
Agencies and NGOs active in Asia define the

This document summarises how a selection of development cooperation
agencies, UN Agencies and NGOs active in Asia define the rights-based
approach to development, why they have adopted their policy and how
they have incorporated it into their programmes. If an organization has
not adopted a rights-based approach, we have summarized how it
describes the relationship between human rights and development. The
descriptions and language are drawn directly from policy documents issued
by the organizations themselves. These descriptions have either been
provided by or reviewed by the agency concerned.
