This means promoting the people as rights-holders at the centre of any initiative, shifting the people (W/M) and policy-makers towards an 'entitlement' mindset. This requires enhanced engagement of civil society in policy formulation and implementation as well as government accountability in delivering services and responding to rights of the people (W/M). This is particularly so for women in rural areas in terms of addressing gender inequity and disempowerment and the urban people (W/M) living in poverty and in the CHT in relation to specific indigenous people's rights such as the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent.

In this context of chronic poverty, climate & disaster risks and change, EU development, humanitarian and policy dialogue priorities need to be harmonised under a comprehensive and long-term approach to enhance the resilience of the poor.
