This booklet provides examples of successful initiatives using human rights standards and principles to address poverty; some reflect national policies, others highlight initiatives by regional authorities or non-governmental actors. It aims to provide practical guidance on how to bring human rights, sound development practice and public health polices together in the health component of a PRS and addresses some of the challenges that this process may produce. The primary audience for the booklet is policymakers and planners working in ministries of health and other national ministries addressing health-related issues. It is hoped that it will also be a useful source reference for anyone working on health and PRSs, including those working in multilateral, donor and non-governmental organizations.
