REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part II — Notes for Facilitators b) Ask one group to present to the plenary the information contained in each column of the implementation plan template (except for the column on budget) for one of the three recommendations they have included therein. Ask other groups to complement suggestions- if necessary. (10 minutes). c) Open the floor by seeking participants feedback on the following (15 minutes): üü what did they find most difficult during the group activity (e.g., the establishment of the prioritization criteria, etc.)? üü what did they observe (e.g., while reviewing the recommendations; regarding the selection of the recommendations to be included in the implementation plan; etc.)? üü what would be the advantages of applying this step-by-step exercise to developing an implementation plan in their own context? What would they do differently, if anything? d) As regards indicators, highlight to participants that in order to identify and develop contextually relevant and technically sound indicators, it is useful to draw both on further definitional and methodological considerations, and also on the lists of illustrative indicators outlined in the OHCHR human rights indicators guide. Mention that a participatory approach, as described in the human rights based approach to data developed by OHCHR, will also be essential in this context. e) Refer them to the OHCHR human rights indicators team (hrindicators@ohchr.org), as well as to the OHCHR publication “Human Rights Indicators: A Guide to Measurement and Implementation” for deeper guidance and advice (10 minutes). TIP ÎÎIf you have asked participants to establish the clusters themselves (tip on Step 2), do not forget to start the discussion by asking the groups if they found it difficult to agree on the criteria for clustering the recommendations. Step 10: Wrap-up  Duration 5 minutes a) Wrap-up the session. Key messages for the wrap-up can include the following: üü ad hoc arrangements are no longer viable for follow-up and implementation of recommendations emanating from the Treaty Bodies, UPR and Special Procedures; üü the recommendations from the human rights mechanisms are interlinked and complement and reinforce each other, i.e. implementation of a recommendation from one mechanism may mean that a recommendation from another mechanism is also being implemented; similar recommendations complement each other as they provide more details on how to implement them and how to measure implementation progress; üü a NMRF is centrally placed to coordinate and track the follow-up and implementation of human rights recommendations; üü NMRFs should strategically include representatives of national statistics offices as well as from the lead agency/Ministry responsible for Sustainable Development Goals implementation; üü efficient follow-up of implementation of recommendations is directly related to the information management capacity of a NMRF. 64
