Fiscal Policy for Equality and Rights: Mapping debates, initiatives and actors in the Andean Region
The economic slowdown in the Andean Region calls for structural and transformative fiscal reforms to achieve a new model of sustainable development centered on equality, environmental sustainability and respect for human rights. This report by the
Center for Economic and Social Rights stresses that this will only be possible if civil society organizations and social movements participate in shaping fiscal policies, and determine how revenues from natural resources are managed and distributed. It argues that human rights provide a unifying discourse and an accountability framework to promote fiscal justice for women, and indigenous and Afro-descendant communities, whose voices and interests have traditionally been absent in fiscal policy debates.
