WHAT IS THE INITIATIVE

The Initiative for Human Rights Principles in Fiscal Policy seeks to develop and promote a compendium of Principles and Guidelines that summarize the human rights standards applicable to fiscal policy.

The compendium translates general human rights standards into more concrete guidelines that are easy to implement and are based on a rigorous analysis of different sources. In addition to generating the principles and guidelines document, the project aims to encourage the use and implementation of The Principles and Guidelines by regional, national and local actors.
