Development cooperation and the human rights to water and sanitation 2017, para. 45
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Funders employ a variety of practical instruments directed to project managers and operational teams to administer development cooperation activities in ways that comply with their policies and goals. Such tools are key to translating policy provisions into actual methods to realize the human rights to water and sanitation. Examples of such instruments include toolboxes, manuals and technical guidelines, which provide the particular benefit of being more adaptable and renewable than policy frameworks. Thus, such instruments fulfil the purpose in the human rights development cycle of instructing funders’ operational teams on how to maximize positive contributions to the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation. Yet, given the frequent absence of an obligation for funders and implementers to apply those instruments, their effectiveness can be limited.
