The human rights implications of development activities are often overlooked due to the fact that standard development planning and assessment tools are not designed to capture human rights risks and impacts. This presentation will showcase a new methodology for incorporating human rights within the standard social and environmental management frameworks of development banks, including a new assessment tool that sets forth standards and risk indicator questions for a complex range of development impacts.
