Mid-Term Review of The Rights Based Approach Strategy 2004 - 2007

The mid-term review of Norwegian People’s Aid Zimbabwe country strategy concentrated on the implementation, operationalisation, results and achievements of the Rights-Based Approach (RBA) and the partnership policy halfway into the strategy period of 2004-2007. The current strategy was designed in response to the major changes in the social political and economic environment in Zimbabwe which had rendered the strategy 1998 – 2002 irrelevant; the strategy 1998 – 2002 was anchored on the economic empowerment of the poor and marginalised as a way to fight poverty without recognising the political dimensions of poverty. The review of the current partners found that all 15 NPA partners are working within the RBA framework, but the degree of knowledge, understanding and internalization vary depending on the type of organisation and the partners’ core activities, which are sometimes different from the NPA funded activities. Overall, rights are real and evidence exists to show that partners have made progress in empowering communities and individuals to claim and exercise their rights at individual and community level.
