Chapter 4 in Enacting Globalization, 2014, pp 33-42 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the adequacy of a rights-based approach applied by an international NGO to foster integration into mainstream society of a discriminated group living in the Kaffa zone of Ethiopia. After providing a definition of rights-based approach, the chapter briefly explores the inter ethnic relations in the area and the suitability of the approach to the specific case study. Finally, recommendations are put forward to make the approach more viable and better able to strengthen the collective ability of the community to organize itself and accomplish social change.
