Based on Action 2 human rights material, this Manual provides step-by-step
guidance on how to apply a culturally sensitive, gender-responsive, human
rights-based approach to programming in each of UNFPA’s three core areas of
work: population and development, reproductive health, and  gender. It also
covers how to apply such an approach in the context of a humanitarian
emergency. It includes additional Modules on how to advocate for human
rights in challenging contexts, practical examples of human rights
indicators and how to apply the approach to a programme on young people.

This Manual was designed primarily for use by UNFPA Country Staff, but will
also be useful for UNFPA implementing partners and others working in the
fields of population and development, sexual and reproductive health and
reproductive rights, gender equality and women’s empowerment.

In addition to serving as a standalone reference tool,  the Manual may also
be used in conjunction with the accompanying Training Materials: Facilitators
Manual (Part II)<http://www.unfpa.org/webdav/site/global/shared/documents/publications/2010/hrba/facilitatormanual.pdf>and
Power
Point presentations with notes (Part
III<http://www.unfpa.org/public/publications/pid/4919>
), as a basis for conducting a training in human rights-based programming.

This Manual was produced through a collaboration between the Program on
International Health and Human Rights, Harvard School of Public Health and
the Gender, Human Rights and Culture Branch of the UNFPA Technical Division,
with the involvement of UNFPA staff and outside consultants.
