Since the 1990s, there have been significant changes to the methods and goals to provide development aid. Human rights have become an integral part of local, national and international projects that primarily focus on other goals. This new approach started to be called as the "Human Rights Based Approach to Development" (HRBA). From that time on the HRBA has gained many supporters not only among states but also among non-governmental organizations on either bilateral or multilateral level and also the international legal framework has been created. Nevertheless, to-date there has been little consensus regarding the integration of the HRBA, the monitoring and results' evaluation of the development aid projects and the providers of the development aid differ in their approaches to the HRBA. This thesis will analyze historic development and include current approaches to the HRBA from multiple stakeholders.

The aim of this thesis is to find out if Norway, which has signed up several times to the HRBA in its foreign development policy, has implemented the approach successfully.
