The importance of social protection measures in achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2010, para. 92
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Measures to improve participation, transparency and accountability must be culturally, physically and economically accessible to all, without discrimination of any kind. The absence of effective and meaningful participatory channels and accountability mechanisms makes social protection programmes less likely to be understood in terms of entitlements and rights and more likely to be viewed as instruments of clientelism that can be manipulated by political actors.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
