OpportunityTitle: USAID/Uganda Rights and Rule of Law
Description: Consistent with key USAID policy directives that elevate human rights, and recognize the relationship between human rights and development, the Rights and Law Activity will employ a rights-based approach. The rights-based approach aims at strengthening the capacity of duty bearers and empowers rights holders to achieve a positive transformation of power relations . To that end, the activity will empower people to demand and assert their rights, and help increase the capacity of duty bearers to provide rights. While duty bearers are accountable for respecting, protecting, and fulfilling human rights, rights holders need to promote and defend their freedoms. Such action helps keep governments accountable, and should have the effect of integrating democracy goals into the socio-economic sectors. Finally, the rights-based approach will require an examination of inequality, exclusion, social structures, and discrimination.
