üü that they are grounded in the normative human rights framework and that many of the goals,
targets and indicators are aligned with specific human rights. Provide an example;
üü that this means that the implementation of the 2030 agenda will deepen the integration of
human rights in development work and that one way of laying the ground for this integration
may be to establish the links between recommendations stemming from the human rights
mechanisms (Treaty Bodies, UPR and SPBs) and the SDGs.
e) Close the segment by highlighting that these interlinkages should be recognized in the UNDAFs so
as to contribute to and better support both implementation of the human rights recommendations
and achievement of the SDGs.
ÎÎUse PPT slides as a support for clarifying issues such as how a UNDAF is prepared;
TIP
the core programming principles, including human rights; what are the SDGs, etc.
ÎÎDepending on the results of your TNA you can consider devoting more time to this
segment.
Step 3: Work in groups: matching recommendations with SDGs and identifying UN support
Duration 30 minutes
a) Ask participants to re-join or remain in the groups they worked with during the session devoted to
follow-up and implementation of recommendations (Session 4.2.3). Indicate that you would like
them to do the following within their groups:
i. establish the link between the SDGs and the three recommendations they have prioritized
in the previous session; and
ii. identify the UN agency which in their view is best placed to support them in implementing
the recommendations prioritized and matched with the SDGs
b) Distribute to each group a copy of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their targets
as well as a copy of OHCHR table linking the SDGs and their targets with the human rights
treaties.
c) Tell them to draw up a table with three columns on a flipchart (recommendations, SDGs and UN
agency) so they can clearly indicate which recommendation relates to which SDG and to which
UN supporting agency (5 minutes).
d) Indicate to them that the time allocated to complete the work is 25 minutes.
Step 4: Work in groups (cont’d): matching recommendations with UNDAF
Duration 35 minutes
a) As a second stage of the activity, distribute to each group a copy of the country’s UNDAF as
agreed between the government and the UNCT; and ask them to do the following:
üü Identify whether any of the three prioritized recommendations (matched with the SDGs) is
somehow already included in the UNDAF. If already included, what type of support is being
provided?
üü Check whether the supporting UN agency identified by the group corresponds to the
supporting UN agency identified in the UNDAF.
