This paper presents the experience of some Northern NGOs in engaging with rights-based approaches. It is based on research carried out by INTRAC and South Research among 17 Northern European NGOs. The research focuses on the particular challenges INGOs face when translating rights policies into operational reality. The paper explores the different ways NGOs interpret rights-based approaches and how they have put them into practice. It also reflects on the organisational implications of adopting rights-based approaches.
