Human Rights Budget Analysis involves interpreting and analyzing government
budgets and expenditures through a human rights lens, giving users a tool
with which to monitor their governments' commitment to and progress in meeting
their human rights obligations. By endowing communities with the skills
and information they need to advocate on their own behalf, and by directing
attention toward the state, the locus of human rights responsibility, budget
analysis becomes a promising tool for human rights work.
Moreover, Human Rights Budget Analysis stimulates greater public engagement
in human rights and their realization by informing and supporting the public’s
demands for good governance and accountability. SHRP will enlist social
scientists – economists, statisticians, sociologists, and political scientists
– in efforts to improve and strengthen this relatively new tool.
