(2003) it is believed that this policy option will "derive additional strength from the system wide application by UN agencies of the 'common misunderstanding on a human rights-based approach to development cooperation." This work goes on to say that: "The goal of human development is to create an enabling environment in which people's capacities can be enhanced and their range of choices expanded.

Thirdly, the accountability structure pursued through a human rights based approach facilitates the development of quantitative and qualitative benchmarks and indicators for measuring progress in development planning and delivery."
