Programme design

This module provides practical information, guidelines and participatory tools for taking rights-based approaches to programme planning and implementation. Guidance is provided through the course of the programme cycle, from the first step of raising awareness and understanding of human and child rights principles, through to the monitoring and evaluation phase.

A rights-based approach to programme design is primarily a way of looking at and responding to situations of emergency and displacement that instills discipline and rigour on planning and intervention strategies. As such, rights-based concepts and principles are easily incorporated into traditional programme cycle frameworks.
