Step 10. DBM reviews
aqencies/departments, identifies prioritv human riqhts challenges and allocates funds to each
departmenVagencv takinq care to satisfu the minimum essential levels of the rights not qiven
prioritv, throuqh a budget call. Upon receipt of the different human rights based logical
frameworks, DBM is urged to review these and identify pressing human rights challenges (such
as hunger, joblessness, homelessness, etc.) that should receive priority allocation. lt is
important to remember that human rights may be prioritized, not on the basis of intrinsic merit,
but onty on practical grounds during the different stages of their progressive realization. ln
allocating funds for each department/agency, DBM should take care to comply with the
principle of non-retrogression, that is, to ensure that funds allocated for non-prioritized human
rights are used to maintain at least the initial level of realization of these rights, and that these
rights do not sutfer an absolute decline in their level of realization.
11. Prepare the budqet bv maior final outputs (MFOs). include human rights based
performance indicators, and structure PAPs to establish a direct link of specific activities to the
appropriate MFO. Claimholders, duty bearers and other actors should then draw up a budget
itemized by major final outputs as required by OPIF. The budget should reflect human rights
based performance indicators arrived at during Step 7 above and should establish a direct link
between specific activities and the appropriate MFO.
Step
Step 12. Monitor and evaluate performance relating to the realization of human riqhts. Using
the human rights based performance indicators identified in Steps 7 and 11 above,
claimholders, duty bearers and other actors are urged to develop a human rights based
monitoring and evaluation strategy, which they can then utilize to undertake monitoring and
evaluation in the context of human rights. Tips to undertake human rights based monitoring
and evaluation are found in the HRBA to Development Planning Toolkit of the National
Economic and Development Authority, specifically the section entitled "Human Rights Based
Approach to Monitoring and Evaluation," parts of which are reproduced below.
When monitoring performance, claimholders, duty bearers and other actors should be on the
alert for:

Any delays or inabilities in the provision of goods and services during disasters or
calamities that may arise during implementation; and

these are being resolved.
