===Rights-based approach===
{{Main|Rights-based approach to development}}

[[Rights-based approach to development]] has been adopted by many [[nongovernmental organizations]] and the [[United Nations]] as the new approach to international development. Rights-based approach combines many different concepts of international development, such as [[capacity building]], [[human rights]], participation, and [[sustainability]]. The goal of the rights-based approach to development is to empower the rights-holders, or the group that does not exercise full rights, and strengthen the capacity of the duty-bearers, or the institution or government obligated to fill these rights.
