Human Rights, Health And Poverty Reduction Strategies. WHO

The task
of addressing poverty, health and human rights cannot be handled by any single
global institution and requires rigorous interdisciplinary and co-ordinated action. This is why the WHO and the Office of
the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) have worked
together with a range of stakeholders to develop this guide. It is intended as
a tool for health policymakers to design, implement and monitor a poverty
reduction strategy through a human rights-based approach. It contains practical
guidance and suggestions as well as good practice examples from around the
world.
