MANAGEMENT counterparts based in Geneva, such as UNHCR. During the meeting, they exchanged best practices and established an informal partnership with the University of Geneva’s Innovation Hub in charge of the Master’s Programme in Innovation, Human Development and Sustainability. • UN Human Rights organized a workshop with Element AI to generate ideas for repetitive tasks that would benefit from the use of automation and artificial intelligence. Four ideas from different parts of the Office emerged at the workshop, two of which will be further developed during 2020. UN Human Rights also deepened its relationship with the Masters’ Programme in Innovation, Human Development and Sustainability of the University of Geneva in partnership with Tsinghua University (THU, Beijing) in order to connect with its students for joint innovation projects. Three of these projects have been agreed upon for implementation in 2020. • Due to the lack of access to the country, the Myanmar Team had to resort to alternative ways to monitor human rights developments. This included the use of Internet-based and encrypted applications to obtain and share information. This proved particularly effective for the work in Cox’s Bazar where the Myanmar Team reached out to victims and witnesses in northern Rakhine to build its analysis of the situation on the ground. The Myanmar Team is also making use of satellite images to assess developments to areas where it has no access with a particular focus on land rights, conditions for safe and dignified returns and economic development. 74 UN HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 2019 Dynamic Knowledge UN Human Rights’ knowledge base is used strategically to actively shape programming, capacity, culture and structure. • UN Human Rights launched “2030 CoP,” the Community of Practice on the SDGs, economic, social and cultural rights, prevention and right to development as one of the outcomes of the three task forces on SDGs, prevention and ESCR that were convened by the High Commissioner in 2018. The 2030 CoP has three objectives, namely, to (i) facilitate peer to peer support so that colleagues can share knowledge and experiences and support each other in their work; (ii) share good practices, materials, stories and initiatives so that colleagues can build on work that is already underway; and (iii) serve as a directory for cross-fertilization so that colleagues with specific thematic expertise and practical experience can be easily identified. Soon after its launch, in October, participants identified several promising practices and opportunities for cross-fertilization, including on the right to water (Colombia, Kenya and Mexico) and the justiciability of ESCR (Tunisia). A focused discussion was also held on economic analysis and human rights. As of December, the 2030 CoP, operating through the Yammer social networking service for private communication, had more than 300 members and was comprised of UN Human Rights staff from headquarters and field presences. • The first phase of the review of the new “welcome mat” for onboarding colleagues into new jobs at UN Human Rights was completed. The review included an all-staff survey; bilateral and small group consultations; a mapping of internal and external induction modalities and practices; consultations on Knowledge Management and Learning; and collecting input from other UN system entities. A Knowledge Fair was organized in the context of the Global Meeting with over 100 knowledge products that were inventoried, catalogued and shared. • UN Human Rights selected a partner to begin the process of systematically classifying its archive files. The partner reviewed all of the Office’s paper archives to assess what should be sent to the archive in Geneva, what should be digitized and stored in a centralized repository and what could be eliminated. The digitization will begin in 2020. These efforts will complement the final phase of the transition to the human rights database (HRDB) for which the Office recruited a temporary staff member. The staff member helped to optimize the contents of the HRDB and coached staff on knowledge management. He also developed several formats to facilitate information gathering, analysis and sharing, including legal analyses for certain types of human rights violations.
