EXPLORING THE HUMAN RIGHTS-BASED APPROACH AND THE PUBLIC MANAGEMENT NEXUS: THE CASE OF THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN THE PHILIPPINES
Public management has been shaped by a range of approaches that reflects the evolution of government policies, shift in societal values and adoption of international agreements. The Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) has emerged as an influential approach in development, and through program implementation and services, has consequently edged its way in the field of public management. The interactions between the two fields remain largely unexplored although their consequences are posited to be significant. Hence, the paper seeks to explore the link between HRBA in relation to public management as well as to examine the organization’s budget as one that is evolving from a public management tool to a HRBA instrument using the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines as a case. The paper is based on official records as well as secondary sources of information, and uses a combination of descriptive and analytical methods. The paper shows a clear but problematic linkage, if not a transition from public management to adoption of HRBA principles, to characterize state-indigenous communities relations and governance mechanisms. The transition in budgeting from one that is incremental to another that is performance-based, and finally to something that is zerobased might prove incompatible with programs dominant in the HRBA literature and practice.
