2.3. GENDER RESPONSIVE BUDGETING THROUGH A HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE:
GENDER EVALUATION FRAMEWORK OF PUBLIC POLICIES THROUGH A HUMAN RIGHTS
PERSPECTIVE
Applying human rights based approach to policies and government programs is based on the
translation of universal human rights standards into measurable indicators. It is broken down in
three steps:
1. Normative Framework
refers to the ratification/adoption of legal instruments and the existence of institutional mechanisms deemed needed to facilitate the achievement of the Right at stake (while respecting the declination according to rights generations):
Equal access to civil and political rights; Access to social rights; Equitable enjoyment of economic rights;
2. Process
informs on how states are working to fulfill their human rights' obligations:
Development of programs, projects and activities that take into account the
gender dimension.
3. Results reflect the degree of achievement of a specific right and help assess the level of enjoyment of this right:
Evaluation of results (compared to the expected objectives);
The choice of indicators is based on the UNHCHR Report on the use of indicators
to promote and monitor achievement of human rights.
16
‹#›121212‹#›‹#›
using such a configuration (normative framework, processes and results):
simplifies the selection of indicators;
encourages using the (available) information adapted to the relevant context.
enables a broader coverage of the various aspects or features on achieving
Rights.
Ownership of the regulatory framework focused on
Rights and adjusting priorities according to;
Structured involvement of stakeholders and partners
(executive, legislative and civil society);
Feeding into the national IT system;
Ensuring coherence of public policies with regard to
