Summary

International NGOs commonly divided into not mutually exclusive categories:

  • Human rights
  • Humanitarian/relief
  • Development

Historically little crossover, intellectual or otherwise, between rights and development categories, changing slowly with rights organizations beginning to pay attention to economic/social rights, not only civil/political rights, and development sector exploring rights-based approaches to development.

Author argues rights approach has important implications for development INGOs.
