Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyses the interplay of sustainable development and human rights from different perspectives including fight against poverty, health, gender equality, working conditions, climate change and the role of private actors. Each aspect is addressed from a more human rights-focused angle and a development-policy angle. This allows comparisons between the different approaches but also seeks to close gaps which would remain if only one perspective would be at the center of the discussions. Specifically, the book shows the strong connections between human rights and the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. Already the preamble of this document explicitly states that "the 17 Sustainable Development Goals ... seek to realise the human rights of all". Moreover, several goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda correspond to already existing individual human rights obligations. The contributions of this volume therefore also address how the implementation of human rights and SDGs can reinforce each other, but also point to critical shortcomings of the different approaches.

This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural transformation involves the reallocation of resources from less to more productive uses. It involves growth in agricultural productivity and generation of higher productivity jobs in other sectors. In addition, in the longer-term, it can support poverty reduction. However, the transition process and its outcomes are frequently challenging – especially among the poor and vulnerable people and households, given the economic and social forces that pressure them to adapt to realities faster than they are able to. The objective of the paper is to show how social protection policies and programmes can contribute to structural transformation, smoothen the transition for the poor and vulnerable and facilitate changes in their livelihoods such that they are able to actively participate in the process of structural transformation. Social protection interventions help households to engage in new economic activities generated by structural transformation, allow them to better manage the risks of such transitions and provide a safety net for those who are not adequately equipped to adapt to the changing circumstances rapidly enough. The paper draws from an extended review of the literature to assess how social protection influences human capital, labor mobility, reallocation of resources, productive capital and access to technology. The paper shows that the potential for major benefits from social protection in smoothening transitions and transforming the income generating activities and livelihoods of individuals and households is significant, the actual impact however is smaller than actually desired or expected.

Book excerpt: This publication presents seven information papers and a case studies report that were prepared during the negotiation process preceding the adoption of the "Voluntary Guidelines to support the progressive realization of the rights to adequate food in the context of national food security." The information papers cover issues that were controversial during negotiations, or complex legal questions for which clarification was requested. The case studies report summarizes the outcome of studies commissioned in five countries to gather about practical in-country experiences with different policies and programmes that are conducive to realizing the population's right to adequate food. The full text of the "Voluntary Guidelines" is also included. Development practitioners and governments, development agencies, civil society and academia concerned with realizing the right to food should find the publication a valuable aid to decision-making.

Book excerpt: These guidelines, adopted by the FAO Council in November 2004, seek to provide practical guidance to national governments on actions to establish frameworks to promote the right to adequate food in the national context of food security, in order to achieve the goals of the World Food Summit Plan of Action. The guidelines represent a step towards integrating human rights into the work of agencies dealing with food and agriculture, and they establish an additional instrument to combat hunger and poverty and to accelerate attainment of the Millennium Development Goals.

This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the importance of social protection, today more than 70 percent of the world’s population still has no or limited access to comprehensive social protection. Coverage in rural areas, where about 80 percent of the world’s poor live, is even lower. Achieving an effective extension of the coverage of social protection benefits and services to the rural population is a key challenge which must be addressed in order to achieve SDG 1.3. “Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable”. This will require bridging gaps and removing existing barriers that limit the access of rural populations to social protection.Extending social protection for all is core to the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). The present paper lays out the specific profiles, risks and vulnerabilities of rural populations and explores options to extend social protection coverage to them.
