What are Human Rights and Equity?
![Page 4: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Defining Human Rights• Human rights are the civil, cultural, economic, political and
social rights inherent to all human beings, without discrimination.
• They are universal, inalienable, interdependent, indivisible, equal and non‑discriminatory.
• Human rights are expressed in and guaranteed by normative frameworks and laws that lay down the obligations of States
• All UN interventions have a mandate to address human rights.
![Page 5: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Equity as a strategy for Human Rights
• Equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop, and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism
• Inequities are disparities between population groups that are not driven by biology, are avoidable and unfair.
• Equity is therefore based on notions of fairness and social justice

Drivers: locations
District level Data - Nyanza Province
• Significant increases in PMTCT coverage: 24% to 73% between 2004-2009• Largely on track to reach Universal Access goal of 80%• However, reaching the last 20% will need refocusing strategies and other context
specific analyses by province.

Drivers: Gender
The majority of out-of-school children continue to be girls (53%); achieving gender parity would mean 3.6 million more girls in primary school
![Page 10: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Drivers: Disabilities
90% of children with disabilities in developing countries do not attend school

Why does equity matter?
![Page 13: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why equity
•Inequity constitutes a violation of human rights and hampers the equitable achievements on Human Development and MDGs
![Page 14: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Success in reducing child deaths in national averages…
Trends in the under-five mortality rate (per 1000 live births), 1990 to 2009
![Page 15: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
… masking growing inequalities within countries
• Two-thirds of the countries that have made strong progress in reducing the under-five mortality rate have shown worsening inequities since 1990.
• In short, gaps between better off and worse off have increased.
• This suggests that the delivery, financing, and use of essential services for children favour the better off.

Why equity
•Equity has a significant positive impact in reducing poverty
•Equity has a positive impact on economic growth
![Page 18: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why equity
•Equity has a positive impact in the construction of a socially fair and democratic society
•Prolonged inequity may lead to the “naturalization” of inequity
![Page 19: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

What is an equity-focused evaluation?
A judgment made of the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of interventions on equitable development results.

Utilizing the evaluation
• Process use
• Preparing the evaluation report and alternative forms of reporting
• Disseminating the evaluation and preparing a Management Response
• Engage the intended users
![Page 41: Integrating Human Rights and Gender Equality in Development Evaluation – Marco Segone UNICEF](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548315f8b4af9ff70d8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
In conclusion:• Focus on understanding how change comes
about, not just what happens• Focus on inequities (disaggregated data),
contextual factors (socio-economic and cultural context; power relationships)
• Recognise complex systems, and use appropriate methods, including Mixed methods
• Support worst-off groups to be agents of their own development, not passive beneficiaries
