This practical guide is designed to help practitioners in choosing how and where to build programmes that address issues of governance. It explores how to render power visible – looking at the underlying power relations within a community in order to support people’s movements to demand accountability from the state. This includes looking at gender and women’s rights; finding spaces for dialogue; looking at the power of the individual; and strengthening and supporting groups within civil society. The guide contains case studies from Oxfam’s on-the-ground work around the world, and lists the best sources of further information. For more examples of how the rights-based approach has been put into practice in our programmes see: · Local Governance and Community Action Programme Insights with studies from Malawi, Tanzania, Viet Nam, Nepal and Kenya · Speaking Out: Case studies on how poor people influence decision-making with studies from Honduras, Malawi, Bangladesh, Georgia, Guatemala, Indonesia, the UK, Peru and IndiaPublisher
