Seeding Change: A Study to Advance Realization of the Rights to Food and Education in Zambia

In the lead up to the 75th anniversary of the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), this catalytic study was undertaken to advance realization of UDHR articles 25 (adequate standard of living, including food) and 26 (right to education) which were rendered legally binding through ICESCR articles 11 (right to adequate food) and 13 (right to education).  It aims to do so by amplifying understanding of Zambia’s general legal obligations under the ICESCR and the normative content of the rights to food and education and uses these markers to assess State actions effecting its obligations, including the use of MAR to progressively realise these rights.
