Sweden's Policy for Global Development (PGD) emphasises that the rights perspective should be integrated in all Swedish development cooperation activities. In practice, there are few guidelines as well as practical examples that demonstrate how to operationalise and implement the rights perspective. The overal aim of this SADEV evaluation is to increase knowledge about how to promote and integrate the rights perspective in programming as well as to contribute to a deeper knowledge of human rights based approaches (HRBA).

This evaluation concentrates on the process of integrating the rights perspective in Swedish-Kenyan development cooperation, where the mainstreaming in action (MAINIAC) approach is taken as an example in which Sweden has been working with a practical approach to promoting the integration of HRBA. The evaluation argues that it is of utmost importance for enhanced knowledge and awareness of the principles of the rights perpective. A number or recommendations are made in this evaluation report, arguing for a rights perspective policy.
