Dignity counts - A guide to using budget analysis to advance human rights

This guide - which has been developed by Fundar, the International Human Rights Internship Program and the International Budget Project - presents a tool for using budget analysis to help assess a government’s compliance with its human rights obligations, in particular with regard to economic, social and cultural rights. It is meant to provide guidance to human rights workers as well as to those involved in applied budget work.

This step-by-step tool allows for analysing national budgets in order to assess governments' compliance with their obligations related to specific human rights. A case study is included in which the Mexican government’s budget is assessed in relation to the right to health.
