ABSTRACT
Good governance is a preferred system of claiming and legitimising
rights that can be boosted through effective citizen-state engagement. The
state often holds and controls the bulk of public resources and governments
must formulate policies and decisions for distribution of such resources to
ensure sustainability. While governments are built and held in power by
ordinary people, their authority and decision-making mandate often put them
in categories above those of ordinary persons.
The new approach to rural development entreats development agencies
to assist target populations to demand their rights from duty-bearers. One
critical area in this direction is the depth of knowledge of employees of
organisations that attempt to initiate Rights-Based Approach (RBA). This
study was therefore meant to evaluate training programmes for employees of
ActionAid Ghana (AAG) in RBA. A descriptive survey approach was
employed for the study. Participants for the survey were employees of AAG,
Community-based Organisations (CBOs) and assembly members with a total
of 50 respondents.
The findings from the study showed that majority of respondents had
an appreciable level of knowledge in RBA. Employees of AAG and their
collaborators in the CBOs found that the input of RBA on development of
communities in which they were engaged was high. However, collaboration
between government agencies and organisations promoting RBA was not seen
to be good. Heads of some state agencies felt they were being exposed by
RBA. It is recommended that all stakeholders are properly trained in RBA to
help accelerate community development.
