| Description |
|
This 84-page publication uses a real-life case study to explore how budget analysis can be used to assess a government's compliance with its human rights obligation and to arrive at specific, concrete recommendations related to the government's budgeting and expenditures that, if implemented, would improve the human rights situation. Dignity Counts focuses on the right to health in Mexico, but the analysis used is applicable to other human rights, such as education and housing, and to other national contexts. The publication describes the case study (which focuses on health care services available to the informally employed and unemployed in Mexico), and includes a section on human rights and budget analysis to a specific situation, a detailed discussion of how this thinking process is applied to the case study, and a section on using budget analysis for human rights advocacy. |
