Spotlight populations linked to results
SDGs, prevention and ESCR
In the 2018-2021 OMP, UN Human
Rights emphasized the spotlight populations of youth, women and persons
with disabilities.
The 2019 end-of-year reports included
the contribution of reporting entities
towards results associated with the High
Commissioner’s priorities, namely, SDGs,
prevention and ESCR.
The focus on spotlight populations in
2019 remained unchanged from 2018
with women remaining the most selected
population (and the order of distribution
among the three spotlights remained
the same: women, youth and persons
with disabilities).
The results reflect the impact of the work
undertaken by the Surge Team in 2019.
Principal SDG engagement lies with
SDGs 5, 10, 16 and 17.
The number of results targeting youth
more than doubled since 2018, reaching
26 per cent of all results associated with
a spotlight population. Most of the outputs were under the Participation pillar.

ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
RESULTS
UN Human Rights defined nine interrelated Organizational Effectiveness
Action Plans under the OMP 20182021 (see Figure 3 opposite): Strategic
Leadership and Direction; Innovation;
D y n a m i c K n o w l e d g e; E x t e r n a l
Communications; Resource Mobilization;
Partnerships; Operations Management;
Diversity and Gender; and Talent and
Career Management.
Organizational Effectiveness (OE) results
are the changes that UN Human Rights
commits to achieving to improve its
organizational effectiveness. OE results
are defined at the output level and
were defined in the 2018-2019 Annual
Workplan for a period of 18 months.
Approximately 86 per cent of programming entities have reported on OE
results, thus demonstrating a high level
of office-wide engagement towards the
OEs in all regions and by all headquarters
programming entities.
OHCHR IN THE UN DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM REFORM
As Co-Chair (with WHO and UNESCO) of the UNSDG Task Team on
“Leaving No One Behind, Human Rights and the Normative Agenda,”
OHCHR actively engaged in the Secretary-General’s reform of the UN
Development System through fostering policy coherence on normative issues across the UN system. The Task Team promoted increased
engagement of development actors with the international human rights
mechanisms, notably overseeing the revision of the UN Common Learning
Package on a Human Rights-Based Approach to Programming and the
finalization of the UNSDG Operational Guide for UNCTs on Leaving No
One Behind, which was then piloted in Cameroon, Nepal and Tunisia.
The Office also contributed to the re-design of the UN Development
Assistance Framework into the UNSDCF with a strong normative and
human rights foundation for collaborative Country Team initiatives.
