Abstract: The purpose of this manual is to collaborate with grass-roots organizations, in particular with NGOs, in defining the content of economic, social and cultural rights (ESC rights) and to empower the actions of NGOs working to tackle poverty in the field. This manual focuses on the principles of interdependency and inter-relatedness, which recognize that the full enjoyment of any particular right depends upon the enjoyment of others.
