REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part II — Notes for Facilitators  Step 4: Prioritizing recommendations (work in groups) Duration 30 minutes a) Explain to the working groups that while all recommendations need to be implemented, some might need further prioritization. Mention some considerations which can help when prioritizing recommendations, such as whether: üü the issue has been identified by a TB as in need of urgent follow-up üü other TBs have also stressed the same issue üü the issue has been emphasized in the UPR and by Special Procedures üü the recommendation can be implemented without budget implications üü the issue has been prioritized at national level (by the general public, media, civil society); how? üü the issue concerns the most marginalized, disadvantaged and vulnerable groups and individuals üü the issue is also addressed in the country's Sustainable Development Goals implementation plan/roadmap b) Ask them to use the above suggestions as guidance for prioritising ten recommendations out of the ones assigned to them. Indicate that the time allocated for this exercise is 30 minutes. ÎÎProject on the screen the guiding considerations for ease of reference. TIP Step 5: Identifying implementing actors within the government (work in groups)  Duration 20 minutes a) Ask participants to discuss within their groups who within the government would be the main actors (e.g., ministries, government institutions, agencies, etc.) implementing the recommendations prioritized by their groups. Also task them with identifying any other actors who could play a role in implementation, where relevant. b) Indicate to participants that the time allocated to this segment is 20 minutes. Step 6: Matching recommendations (work in groups)  Duration 25 minutes a) Task the groups with matching the ten recommendations they have prioritized with the main implementation actors. b) Allocate 25 minutes for completion of this segment of the activity. TIP ÎÎSteps 5 and 6 could be merged into a 30-minute segment. Step 7: Filling in the implementation plan template (work in groups)  Duration 30 minutes a) Ask participants to reproduce on a flipchart the implementation plan template shown on the screen. Alternatively, if groups work around a table, provide them with a skeleton A3 print-out of an implementation plan that they can fill at the table. b) Task them with selecting 3 recommendations from the 10 they have prioritized to fill in the template (except for the columns on indicators and budget). Tell them to note: 62
