HIGHLIGHTS OF RESULTS
by CEDAW, CESCR and the UPR. In addition to the activity-specific indicators, the road map
contains appropriate SDG indicators, which will enhance the mutual reinforcement of human
rights and SDG reporting, thereby setting an example of a good practice for other Central
Asian States. In Uzbekistan, UN Human Rights, through the UNCT, advised State authorities
on developing national SDG indicators, which include supplementary human rights indicators
to strengthen the implementation of SDGs that are aligned with international human rights
law. OHCHR delivered a training on an HRBA to SDGs for the members of the expert group of
the national SDG coordination body. The training session helped to enhance expertise at the
national level and encouraged discussions about improving national SDG indicators from the
human rights perspective.

National institutions, assisted by communities,
systematically collect, disaggregate and use
data relevant for advancing human rights
when they monitor and implement the SDGs.
The methodologies developed by UN Human Rights for SDG indicator 16.1.2, on the number of
conflict-related deaths, and SDG indicators 10.3.1/16.b.1, on the percentage of the population
experiencing discrimination on grounds prohibited by international law, were endorsed
by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators, which is composed of Member
States. This result increases potential opportunities for OHCHR to further mainstream human
rights obligations and the prevention of human rights violations into the implementation and
accountability framework of the SDGs at country, regional and global levels. We also supported
the development of methodologies to monitor and collect data on the national implementation
of human rights education, including through the work of UNESCO, in the context of SDG target
4.7 and the World Programme for Human Rights Education.
