Summary
This paper presents a strategy for the achievement of human rights and fundamental freedoms of poor people. The central message of the paper is that the International Development Targets can only be achieved through the engagement of poor people in the development processes which affect their lives.The human rights approach to development means empowering people to take their own decisions, rather than being the passive objects of choices made on their behalf. The objective of DFID’s Human Rights Strategy is to enable all people to be active citizens with rights, expectations and responsibilities.
