Rights and Responsibilities Redirected for Results

The Right to a Voice is the First Right We Must Protect

CARE Egypt's Program Goal:

An Empowered Civil Society dynamically interacts with the private sector and government to realize social and economic rights.

What are Rights?

Rights are an emerging and powerful dimension to CARE's work as well as that of many other organizations involved in development work. They represent an evolving approach to helping people attain a life with dignity and justice, free of discrimination.

Project Objective

	The Rights and Responsibilities Redirected for Results Initiative (R4) aims at a systematic and coherent learning and implementation process of Rights-Based Approaches (RBAs) in program strategies, plans, and application within CARE Egypt�s programs and that of its partners.

The Activities

R4 activities consolidate and expand the RBA capacities of CARE Egypt and its partners by organizing and extending the learning processes around rights approaches. R4 builds on the strategic consultative process that is on-going within

CARE's projects as a means to better understand and promote rights based approaches. R4 goes beyond the traditional development efforts of civil society by focusing on rights as a means for enhancing dialogue and collaboration between civil society and government.

Learning Concepts

R4 facilitates learning, exploration, consultation, and

partnership building.

R4 sets a learning foundation for enhancing the design

of programs and interventions with a rights perspective,

as well as adapting current projects where feasible.
