HURIST is
a joint UNDP-Office of High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR)
global programme. WHO is a HURIST partner in Yemen, a country
where HURIST has advanced its “Window Two” activities –
i.e., integrating human rights into development planning
processes.
WHO’s
participation in the third HURIST Mission to Yemen from May 25th
to June 5th had several objectives:
-
Contributing
to the HURIST-sponsored Yemeni National Workshop on the
place of a rights-based approach in Yemen’s development
planning processes and, specifically, the place of health in
those processes.
-
Furthering
WHO's goal of national level capacity-building to implement
a health and human rights approach.
-
Working
closely with WHO Sana’a to integrate their concerns into
HURIST’s work in Yemen, so that the design of an eventual
HURIST pilot will take into account WHO in-country
priorities.
-
Strengthening
HURIST’s emphasis on health as a core focus area as it
pioneers a rights-based approach to development.
