A/HRC/29/22 5. In close consultation with the various sections of OHCHR, the Board of Trustees focuses its attention on broadly guiding the operationalization of the Fund by providing policy advice. 6. Since the submission of the last report (A/HRC/26/54), the Board of Trustees has held its third session in Geneva in October 2014 and the fourth session in Phnom Penh and Bangkok in February 2015, during which it had an opportunity to provide OHCHR with policy guidance aimed at maximizing the effectiveness of technical assistance and financial support to States in implementing recommendations of the universal periodic review and other international mechanisms at the country level. 7. During its third session in Geneva, the Board of Trustees recommended that OHCHR consider establishing focal point systems for the universal periodic review at the OHCHR regional office level in order to provide support to countries of the respective regions for effective follow-up to universal periodic review and other mechanisms’ recommendations. That should be done hand in hand with the treaty body reform outcome and utilize additional resources. Furthermore, the Board of Trustees highlighted the importance of documenting promising practices and lessons learned on follow-up to the universal periodic review that can be shared with OHCHR field presences to promote more effective follow-up to universal periodic review and other mechanisms’ recommendations on the ground. 8. During its fourth session, which was focused on reviewing the follow-up support work of OHCHR in the Asia-Pacific region, the Board of Trustees also had an opportunity to discuss with OHCHR how the latter provides technical assistance and financial support through the Voluntary Trust Fund for Financial and Technical Assistance for the Implementation of the Universal Periodic Review in a more systematic fashion and with greater impact. The Board of Trustees also stressed the importance of coherent and coordinated use of the two voluntary funds, namely the Voluntary Fund for Financial and Technical Assistance for the Implementation of the Universal Periodic Review and the Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation in the Field of Human Rights, for greater efficiency and sustained impact. The Board of Trustees also held a substantive dialogue with United Nations country teams, with a view to identifying broad policy advice in connection with the latter’s efforts to integrate the recommendations of international human rights mechanisms, including treaty bodies, special procedures and the universal periodic review, into their respective country programming. The Board of Trustees was impressed by efforts to incorporate human rights perspectives and strategies, including the recommendations of international human rights mechanisms, into United Nations common country programming documents, such as the United Nations Development Assistance Framework. It encouraged strongly the continuation and expansion of those efforts. The Board of Trustees welcomed the ongoing OHCHR efforts to provide technical assistance and financial support systematically through the use of the Fund to help States in implementing recommendations of international human rights mechanisms. B. OHCHR strategic vision for follow-up to universal periodic review and the Fund: going forward 9. As noted in the previous report (A/HRC/26/54), OHCHR has been developing the capacity to provide increased support to States in their efforts to implement the outcome of the universal periodic review, including through the operationalization of the Voluntary Fund. That effort has included an integrated approach to supporting implementation of recommendations emanating from all the international human rights mechanisms. 4
