Rights & Democracy – This guide is designed primarily for communities and the civil society organizations they work with. The objective of the assessment guide is to assist these communities to document the human rights impacts of foreign investment projects as they are experienced by community members. This guide also encourages a more substantive engagement in the decision-making processes that affect the enjoyment of their rights. It can be adapted and used by civil society organizations outside the community that accompany local groups in this process. The methodology is also suited to company-led processes that emphasize the participation of affected communities.
