E-LEARNING
The HRBA entails putting the human rights of people living in poverty and oppression at the centre of development cooperation. The HRBA is one of five perspectives that are compulsory to apply in Swedish development cooperation. All development co-operation, in all thematic areas, should further the realisation of human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments.
Sida uses the PLANET tool to support Sida staff in applying the HRBA – in planning, assessment and follow-up of a contribution. PLANET can also guide you when you analyse a context, operationalise a development strategy and in dialogue with partners. This course will take you through each component of the PLANET tool, exploring what HRBA means and how it can be applied. You will also find related links and references to further reading material.
