Intégrer une approche fondée sur les droits humains dans le plaidoyer en faveur de l’éducation: Principaux enseignements d’une session d’apprentissage entre pairs d’Éducation à Voix Haute (EOL)

En 2024-2026, l’Initiative pour le droit à l’éducation (RTE de son acronyme anglais) a collaboré avec les bénéficiaires de subventions d’Éducation à Voix Haute (EOL de son acronyme anglais) afin de renforcer l’approche fondée sur les droits dans le cadre de leurs activités de plaidoyer et de responsabilité sociale. En tant que partenaire mondial d’apprentissage d’EOL, RTE a assuré le renforcement des capacités et apporté un soutien individuel sur mesure aux bénéficiaires de subventions d’EOL dans différentes régions  et différents contextes. L'objectif était de renforcer l’intégration d’une approche fondée sur les droits humains dans leurs activités de plaidoyer.

Le 1er juillet 2026, les organisations de la société civile ayant bénéficié du soutien de RTE se sont réunies pour une session d’apprentissage entre pairs afin de réfléchir à leurs expériences, de partager leurs réussites et leurs défis, et de discuter des enseignements tirés de la mise en œuvre concrète d’une approche fondée sur les droits humains.
 
Cette publication rend compte des principaux enseignements, perspectives et recommandations issus de cette session d’apprentissage entre pairs. Elle vise à partager ces réflexions avec l’ensemble de la communauté Education Out Loud et à contribuer à l’apprentissage continu sur la manière dont les organisations de la société civile peuvent utiliser les approches fondées sur les droits humains pour faire progresser la réalisation du droit à l’éducation.

Integrating a human rights-based approach into education advocacy: Main takeaways from an Education Out Loud (EOL) Peer Learning Session

In 2024-2026, the Right to Education Initiative (RTE) has worked with Education Out Loud (EOL) grantees to strengthen the rights-based approach to their advocacy and social accountability activities. In its role as an EOL Global Learning Partner, RTE provided capacity development and engaged in tailored one-on-one support to EOL grantees across different regions and contexts. The aim was to strengthen the integration of a human rights-based approach into their advocacy activities.

On 1 July 2026, the civil society organisations that received support from RTE came together for a peer learning session to reflect on their experiences, share achievements and challenges, and discuss lessons learned from applying a human rights-based approach in practice.

This publication captures the key lessons, insights, and recommendations that emerged from the peer learning session. It aims to share these reflections with the wider Education Out Loud community and to contribute to ongoing learning on how civil society organisations can use human rights approaches to advance the realisation of the right to education.

How civil society organisations have used human rights law and mechanisms to advance the right to education

This publication demonstrates how civil society organisations can draw on human rights law and mechanisms to reinforce their advocacy strategies and pursue accountability. 

Through five case studies, the publication explores the context and underlying issue related to the right to education, the legal framework relevant to each case, the advocacy strategies employed by civil society organisations, the outcomes and impacts of their efforts, and the lessons drawn from each experience. Each case study highlights one legal or quasi-legal accountability mechanism, at national or international level, illustrating how civil society organisations have applied it to drive change. In addition, each case study provides a list of key resources to help CSOs navigate the human rights system and select the advocacy strategy best suited to securing accountability.
