Good practice cases
INTERNATIONAL CONSULTATION ON GOOD PRACTICES AND STRATEGIES TO ELIMINATE CASTE-BASED DISCRIMINATION, 29 November - 1 December 2011
Read the report from the International Consultation here >>
The aim of the international consultation is to identify, share and learn from examples of good practices and strategies to eliminate caste-based discrimination. IDSN therefore encourages all participants, as well as those persons/organisations who will not be able to participate in the consultation, to submit a 'good practice' case to share their experiences on what has worked and what can be improved in advance of the consultation.
With this exercise, IDSN aims to collect examples of good practices by a wide range of actors, including civil society organisations, governments, national institutions, bilateral development agencies, and international organisations. The cases will be used as inspiration for the conference and outcome documents. Authors will be asked if the case can be made public (e.g. on a website or in a report).

CALL FOR CASES (sent out prior to the consultation - now closed)
IDSN calls on all interested parties to prepare and submit a ‘good practice’ case on the elimination of caste discrimination before 20 November.
The cases can cover as diverse practices as grass-root level initiatives, national mobilisation campaigns, media trainings, and international advocacy campaigns, and can represent a past experience or current practice. All cases should be viewed from a human rights perspective, and must aim to promote the general principles of non-discrimination, equality and inclusion. For further explanation on the criteria for defining a good practice, read the introduction to the standard questionnaire.
The case can be submitted in any format chosen. However, in order to make it comparative and replicable to other practices, the following standard questionnaire may be used as an inspiration or guide. The description of the case should not exceed more than 3-4 pages.
