The Reporting Procedure
4
d) Wrap-up the discussion, for example, highlighting that all the above elements refer to the information
management capacity of a NMRF. Also explain that through an activity divided into various
segments the group is going to develop a model implementation plan by drawing on the work of all
concerned. Indicate that specific instructions for each segment will follow in due course (5 minutes).
Step 2: The elements of an implementation plan (brainstorming)
Duration 10 minutes
a) Invite participants to indicate what would be the main elements of a human rights implementation
plan (5 minutes).
b) Summarize the elements mentioned in a flipchart and complete as needed until you have all the
elements contained in the template you previously prepared (see sample). (5 minutes).
TIP
ÎÎShow on the screen the implementation plan template for ease of reference.
ÎÎCheck on the difference between a human rights recommendation plan and a
National Human Rights Action Plan so that you are prepared to give an answer to
participants if asked. See: OHCHR, National Mechanisms for Reporting and Follow-up
a Practical Guide to Effective State Engagement with International Human Rights
Mechanisms, pp. 24-25.
Step 3: Reviewing and clustering recommendations (work in groups)
Duration 30 minutes
a) Divide participants into five groups. Distribute to each group a sample set of 30 recommendations
you have previously clustered thematically for example under five of the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (i.e. one thematic cluster per group).
b) Task them with reviewing the recommendations assigned to their group and create, wherever
possible, sub-clusters of similar or identical recommendations, notwithstanding the mechanism
which issued them. Indicate to participants that they have 30 minutes to do so.
TIP
ÎÎAlternatively you can distribute to the working groups a set of the latest
recommendations issued to the relevant State by Treaty Bodies, UPR and Special
Procedures. Ask each group to agree on how they are going to cluster the
recommendations (e.g., by theme, right, etc.) and then cluster the recommendations
accordingly. Some suggestions on possible thematic clusters are found in the research
guide of the Universal Human Rights Index (www.uhri.ohchr.org) or in the list of
illustrative indicators developed by OHCHR (https://goo.gl/hKQ097).
ÎÎOr, if you are using the generic set of recommendations developed by OHCHR, you
ask participants to cluster the recommendations each participant received under
SDG 3 (health), SDG 5 (gender equality), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth)
and SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions). For this purpose, you place
the title and targets of each of theses SDGs on different walls/flipcharts across the
training room. Once done, you divide the participants in equal numbers to four groups
(one per SDG). Once recommendations have been clustered, task the groups with
reviewing them and creating sub-clusters of similar or identical recommendations.
Consider allocating 50 minutes in total to this segment. Proceed then to step 4 of this
note.
