Themes and Programs
RDHR believes poverty is not merely about a lack of adequate resources and can therefore seldom be addressed adequately by material solutions alone. Even when resources are available, access to them is often denied to the poor because of who they are, where they live, or sometimes simply because of neglect and lack of concern. This chronic poverty further deprives them of access to services hence they become prey to vicious circle of poverty.
RDHR therefore follows rights based approach to build on the knowledge and the technical foundations of existing development practice. By merging development with the human rights framework and its focus on justice, however, becomes much more sensitive to issues of power balances, discrimination, insecurity, and vulnerability. RDHR recognises that economic growth does not necessarily lead to social development or better conditions for the poor and it emphasises that the interrelationship between the individual at the micro level and the state and the international community at the macro level. It focuses on participation and empowerment of the poor and their right to hold governments and other responsible actors accountable and in this way it legitimises and supports the struggle of poor people to secure the full spectrum of their rights.read more
