Summary:

This report is based on lessons learned from documenting experiences and programmes that incorporated elements of the human right-based approach (HRBA) in several Asia-Pacific countries from 2004-2008. The initial observations of such experiences and programmes resulted in the documentation and publication of fourteen case studies in countries as diverse as Bangladesh, Cambodia, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Lao, PDR, Nepal, the Philippines, and Viet Nam under the aegis of the Asia-Pacific UN Inter-Agency Lessons Learned Project (LLP) on the HRBA to Development.
